Abstract

The Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica, is one of the most important species for freshwater cultivation in Japan due to its popularity as a food fish. However, number of eel fry (glass eel) for the cultivation, which were captured from the wild field, has gradually decreased during the past 25 years, resulting that the price of the fry has risen sharply. Therefore, developments of techniques for artificial breeding of the eel have been desired eagerly. In this paper, we will describe recent researches on artificial induction of maturation for male and female eels and rearing techniques for eel larvae that have been mainly studied in our institute.
