Natural eel eggs found for first time
|
|
A research team has found eggs of natural Japanese eels off the Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean for the first time, providing answers to longtime mysteries of where and when the fish spawn, it said in the British science magazine Nature Communications. The team led by Katsumi Tsukamoto, a researcher at the University of Tokyo's Atmosphere and Oceanic Research Institute, said it collected 31 eel eggs near the West Mariana Ridge shortly before the new moon in May 2009. The team hopes the discovery will lead to eel farming from eggs and prevent further declines in the eel population. (Kyodo News)
