Potentials and prospects of Southeast Asian eel resources for sustainable fisheries and aquaculture development
The world demand for river eels has been increasing mainly because of the market expansion of some delicacies such as the kabayaki (broiled eel with sweet soy sauce) in East Asia. While most of the world’s eel production is derived from aquaculture, it should be noted that eel aquaculture is still d...
