If the Eel population is under distress, why not commercial raise them?
Does anyone at this point?
It seems given their durability and adaptation to fresh and Salt waters this wouldn't be that difficult.

They do farm raise them , but only with elvers collected in the wild. I dont think they know how to get them to breed in captivity yet.

I hear there is a dvd coming out about the mating habits of eels... it's called, "Eels Gone Wild, Hot Nights In The Sargasso Sea" maybe we'll learn more after its release.
