Young eel (5)

I believe the answer is:

elver

'young eel' is the definition.
(an elver is a young eel)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for elver that I've seen before include "A baby eel" , "Immature eel" , "A young 11" , "Slippery youngster" , "Young slippery fish" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the Penny Press, The Times, The Mirror, The Daily Mail, The Irish Independent, the Evening Standard, The Independent, The Irish Times and The Telegraph.
