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.

金大大學說，大約30頭鰻魚幼蟲於9月12日在和歌山縣的研究機構人工孵化，在50天內長到大約2厘米。

這所大學分別生長著大約1,100個幼蟲。如果一切進展順利，預計其中一些將在明年春季增長到可銷售的規模。

該大學表示，為了減少水產養殖的成本和工作量，金岱將嘗試開發一種不會污染水的飼料。
