A project to farm glass eels at scale could reduce production costs to ¥1,800 per fish, the Japan Fisheries Research and Education Agency said.
The agency announced July 4 the results of the pilot project aimed at producing the juvenile Japanese eels, shedding light on the commercialization of the popular delicacy. According to the agency, the cost reduction was realized by the development of new feed and tanks among other reasons.

The cost remains about three times the trading price of wild eels, but the Fisheries Agency, which commissioned the project, said, “The results have paved a path for the commercialization of Japanese eels.”
