The total biomass on earth is about 3000 billion Metric tonnes. A Metric tonne is 1000 kg, so that's 3,000,000 billion kg. American eels (the quintessential Eel, in my view) can grow to weigh 7.5 kg. 3,000,000 divided by 6.5 gives us 400,000. So, if everything (organic) was eels, there would be roughly four hundred trillion eels. Fewer than I would have thought! Please inform me if my math is wrong or if I have missed an important aspect of this hypotheticeel.

I disagree regarding eel quintessence, but Thanks very interesting!
