Five StarsBy meAmazing !!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Seen by many people as slimy and nasty, this book will make you understand them better, if not an eel fancier.By lyndonbrechtAn informative book about a creature that most Americans seem to regard as slimy and nasty. We have forgotten that eels were once common fare for our colonial ancestors, until many thousands of dams (for mills and other purposes) blocked migration. This book is excellently illustrated.The book covers only American and European eels (there aren't many books on eels, so I have no knowledge about Pacific eels). Schweid brings in natural history but perhaps more, the eel as food and subject in literature and art (think of those Dutch still lifes featuring game and fish), and in culture. That may seem like a joke, the eel in culture, but read the book and you'll see it perhaps more seriously.Eels seem to be in trouble. They are in some ways still a bit mysterious. Readers with some background may remember that for a very long time no one knew where eels went when they migrated out to sea. One issue I was unaware of is the sale of glass eels (baby eels coming into fresh water) to Chinese eel farms. Eels have not been successfully raised from eggs. When pulled from the mud of creeks, ponds, rivers, or the sea, the eel, with its slick, snake-like body, emerges as an extremely mundane and even unappealing fish. But don’t let the appearance fool you—the eel has been one of the world’s favorite foods since ancient Greece, and the eel’s life cycle is one of the most remarkable on the planet—during the middle ages, impoverished Londoners survived on eel and the eel later saved the Mayflower pilgrims from starvation on American shores. In Eel, RichardSchweid chronicles the many facets of these slippery creatures from their natural history to their market value and contemporary consumption to their appearance in art and literature and finally to their present threatened status. So far, eels have steadfastly refused to reproduce in captivity, apparently requiring the vastness of the open ocean to successfully mature—which has imperiled the species’ long- term survival. Schweid explains that freshwater eels are born in remote ocean depths and make a journey of thousands of miles to fresh water where they spend most of their lives before making a return journey to the ocean to mate and die. Well-illustrated and containing many little-known facts about this surprising fish, Eel will appeal to general readers of natural history and others wishing to discover something more about the common unagi on the sushi menu. "Where Schweid excels in in his wonderfully illustrated historical account of the use that man has made of the eel, a story that extends from prehistory . to the gross abuse of the eel resource at the hand of global markets and intensive aquaculture. Eel is a book to be enjoyed and often reread, a social history of real substance which echoes the best of Victorian writing." –Times Literary Supplement [vNdKG.ebook] Eel (Animal) By Richard Schweid PDF [vNdKG.ebook] Eel (Animal) By Richard Schweid Epub [vNdKG.ebook] Eel (Animal) By Richard Schweid Ebook [vNdKG.ebook] Eel (Animal) By Richard Schweid Rar [vNdKG.ebook] Eel (Animal) By Richard Schweid Zip [vNdKG.ebook] Eel (Animal) By Richard Schweid Read Online.

  • Opportunities for Sustainable Fisheries in Japan
    OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES IN JAPAN O2 REPORT: OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES IN JAPAN JANUARY 2016 THIS REPORT OFFERS PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS TO HELP RESTORE FISHERIES AND COASTAL FISHING COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE JAPANESE ARCHIPELAGO © Ana Chang 2 CONTENT Introduction/Summary 4 State of Japanese Fisheries 5 The Japanese Seafood Supply Chain 8 Seafood Supply Chain - Upstream 8 Seafood Supply Chain - Downstream 9 Seafood Imports/Exports 11 Species in Focus: Tuna Supply Chain 12 Policy/Management 14 Sustainable Seafood in Japan 17 Survey of Japanese Consumers 17 Survey of Japanese Fishermen/Managers 18 Recommendations 19 References 21 Addendum: Rapid Assessments of Eleven Japanese Fisheries 3 Introduction/Summary If you want to witness a display of marine abundance and diversity unrivaled nearly anywhere on planet earth, don’t go to the Coral Triangle. Instead, head straight to the heart of Tokyo, grab your rubber boots and take a stroll through the cavernous Tsukiji fish market. From wild Kamchatka sockeye salmon to giant tuna from the Mediterranean to Maine lobster, Tsukiji sells it all in the largest seafood market in the world. The freshest and highest quality seafood in Tsukiji still comes from waters sur- rounding the Japanese archipelago, which hold some of the most productive fishing grounds on the planet. But domestic fisheries have been in decline for decades, due to overfishing, degraded ecosystems, and negative socio-economic factors. For the average Japanese consumer, this decline has caused higher prices at the market and increasing difficulties in enjoying traditional “washoku” food items. “Unagi” (eel), for example, went from a peak commercial catch of 232 metric tons in 1963 to a measly 5 tons by 2011.1 Meanwhile, the price quadrupled in the last decade alone.

They were reared in 20ºC, and fed almost to 22 satiation every day. There was no significant difference in the knob length (KnL) between males and 23 females and therefore data were combined in the following Gompertz growth formula KnLt = 277.1 exp 24 (-exp (-0.015 (t - 83.8))).

  • Fish in Disguise: Seafood Fraud in Korea
    Fish in disguise: Seafood fraud in Korea A briefing by the Environmental Justice Foundation 1 Executive summary Between January and December 2018, the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) used DNA testing to determine levels of seafood fraud in the Republic of Korea. The results showed that over a third of samples tested were mislabelled. This mislabelling defrauds consumers, risks public health, harms the marine environment and can be associated with serious human rights abuses across the world. These findings demonstrate the urgent need for greater transparency and traceability in Korean seafood, including imported products. Key findings: • Over a third of seafood samples (34.8%, 105 of 302 samples) genetically analysed were mislabelled. • Samples labelled Fleshy Prawn, Fenneropenaeus chinensis (100%), Japanese Eel, Anguilla japonica (67.7%), Mottled Skate, Raja pulchra (53.3%) and Common Octopus, Octopus vulgaris (52.9%) had the highest rates of mislabelling. • Not a single sample labelled Fleshly Prawn was the correct species. • Mislabelling was higher in restaurants, fish markets and online than in general markets or superstores. • By processed types, sushi (53.9%), fresh fish (38.9%) and sashimi (33.6%) were the most likely to be mislabelled. • The seafood fraud identified by this research has direct negative impacts for consumers. It is clear that for some species sampled consumers were likely to be paying more than they should. For example, more than half of the eel and skate samples that were labelled domestic were actually found to be imported, which can cost only half of the price of domestic products. Swordfish mislabelled as Bluefin Tuna can be sold for four to five times as much.

ARTICLE Bringing the European Eel Back from the Brink: The Need for a New Agreement under the Convention on Migratory Species CHRIS WOLD* The European eel is considered “Critically Endangered.” Its population has been declining due to overutilization, barriers to mi- gration such as dams, pollution, and climate change. The interna- tional community has responded by including the European eel in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endan- gered Species (“CITES”) to regulate international trade and Appen- dix II of the Convention on Migratory Species (“CMS”) to help im- prove the species conservation status. The EU has taken regional action to prohibit imports into and exports from EU Member States, although intra-EU trade is permissible.
