Eel farming

Eel farming, or aquaculture, involves breeding and raising eels in controlled environments to meet market demand. Farmers create suitable habitats, such as tanks or ponds, with proper water quality, temperature, and nutrition to promote healthy growth. Eels are often bred from eggs or juveniles, with careful monitoring for disease and growth rates. This sustainable practice reduces pressure on wild eel populations, which are declining due to overfishing. The process combines scientific techniques and management practices to produce high-quality eels for culinary use, ensuring environmental responsibility while meeting consumer needs.
