The Tactile Science of Eel Skin from Living to Specimen

The tactile difference between a living eel and a preserved specimen is a question of empirical precision. A living eel's skin is coated in a protective, validated layer of mucus, making it slippery and almost gelatinous to the touch. Once deceased, that moisture evaporates, leaving the skin leathery and rough. This shift from slick to textured is a measurable, real-time change.
