Japanese university artificially incubates endangered eel species




Japanese university artificially incubates endangered #eel species

Kindai University said about 30 eel larva, which were artificially incubated on Sept. 12 at its research facility in Wakayama Prefecture, have grown to about 2 centimeters over 50 days.

The university is separately growing around 1,100 larva. If things go smoothly, some of these are expected to grow to a marketable size next spring.

In a bid to cut back on aquaculture costs and workloads, Kindai will try to develop a feed that is less likely to pollute water, according to the university.
