Albulovs have a cylindrical body with a pointed conical head and a forked caudal fin. The body is covered with rather small scales. The head is naked, with a protruding conical snout and lower mouth. The back is dark, greenish, the sides and belly are silver-white, with longitudinal dark stripes. There is a sideline. The teeth on the jaws and palate are small, bristle-shaped. In the heart there is an arterial cone with two rows of valves.
Albulov live near the coast, enter gulfs and estuaries , keep in flocks on silty and sandy soil. They feed on worms, mollusks, crabs, taking them out of the soil with the help of a conical snout.
Spawning and their eggs have not been studied. The albulaceae undergo a peculiar prelarval stage in development, which is characterized by long, protruding teeth, and the larval stage - leptocephalus , resembling in shape a long willow leaf compressed from the sides. The larval stage of this type is especially characteristic, except for albovian ones, for all eel - like fish, which, however, differ in the structure of the caudal fin. In albulian larval metamorphosis is especially pronounced. Leptocephalus larvae reach a length of 8–9 cm, then their length begins to decrease, the body shortens and thickens, losing transparency and assuming the shape of a small fish closer to adults. The length of the body decreases threefold, and already from this moment begins the second period of fry growth, ending upon reaching puberty and adulthood.
