Conger eel free to search for love
A 6ft conger eel has been released into the sea to begin a 2,000 mile trip to find a mate.
The eel, named Rip, is heading for the breeding grounds of the Atlantic.
A crane was brought in to help the reluctant eel on its journey from Macduff Marine Aquarium.
The eels are known to congregate in deep water where they spawn before dying.
