The eel fry season has begun, Han Yushan, National Taiwan University Fisheries Science Institute: The catch in the four East Asian countries may be low, the price of eel fry is impossible to be very high

This year's eel fry fishing season started in November. The eel fry caught by fishermen refer to Japanese eel fry. Starting from Taiwan, four other countries in East Asia, including Japan, China, and South Korea, are fishing. The total annual catch in East Asia is about 45 metric tons, but Han Yushan, director of the Fisheries Science Institute of National Taiwan University, estimates that this year's total will be below 35 metric tons, which is "not very good". In previous years, Taiwan could catch more than 4 metric tons of eel fry, but the average in the past two years was only 1.5 metric tons. Up and down, Han Yushan said that eel seedlings will follow the ocean currents, and the actual catch in Taiwan still depends on the direction of subsequent ocean currents. This year's eel fry fishing season will last for four months from November 1 to February 29 next year. The total amount of eel fry in East Asia was more than 40 metric tons in 2010 and about 50 metric tons in 2011. ...
