The EU has smartly regulated how many you can catch. Stocks are depleting as the freshwater pathways are blocked by dams and water plants. Efforts are slowly being made to reopen them. We have massive farms here (delicious delicacy in Nordic countries). But efforts to breed them in captivity have failed.
And those young eels travel thousands of miles from the ocean only to be stopped by an old dam deep in the woods nobody uses or maintains. In the spring you can see them exhaust themselves trying to climb an impassable barrier.
Eels were one of many species that were protected at an early 17th century wildlife sanctuary. Founded as a humble teaching hospital, animal hospital & rehabilitation clinic at the end of the Renaissance, by the middle Baroque period the sanctuary had acquired vast surrounding acreages included coastal waters & inland lakes. At the newly completed ornate Baroque style school & reception center, a group of visitors questioned their tour guide after seeing something that amazed them: These eels seemed intelligent, curious, even friendly. How did they get that way, so accustomed to humans, so smart.. was it because of years of kindness and care? In fact they all were trained & the original graduates of their Baroque Eel School program.
I saw y 1st Eel when I was 24. It was in a dirty fish tank on the bottom shelf in the back corner of a (at the time) local Aquatic Store, they specialized in salt water aquariums. (Anyway) I was bending down, my nose inches from the tank asking out loud "Why is this tank so dirty, is anything in it?' When on cue an Eel head popped out of the dark murky water nose to nose with me - SCARED THE &%$@ out:a me. I've been fascinated with Eel' (ever) since.
The Hudson has tons, and if you're fishing in it, you'd better watch it because you catch 'em on your line, and if you don't get them off fast, your line becomes so tangled.
1:40 If an eel is in fresh water, it is a female. The males don't migrate into fresh water. I caught a three-footer, a beautiful golden yellow creature, in a small mill pond in Clarke County, Mississippi while bass fishing. They roll and twist while fighting, taking up a lot of line.
Wait, there people who *don't* eat potatoes? Why? There are limitless ways to cook them, and they're freaking delicious. I mean, possibly there are people who are allergic to them or something, but other than that, why would anyone not eat them?
Pervert scientists, wanting to spy on eels doing the nasty ☠️☠️☠️ Jk, fascinating work and it’s amazing that we still don’t know the behavioral mechanisms behind what seems to be such a simple creature

I did this project as my college internship I loved working on it and working with Chris bowser.
This is fascinating. I had no clue about this.

How do they mate? They like privacy...what can we say?

What a “shocking” truth about eels.
Animals are smarter than we thought.
I love eel!!! One of my favorite foods when I visited Japan. I still order it at my local sushi bar.
So very interesting. I never gave eel's a thought...but am now unable to unthink them😳
One can say these scientists are eeling back the layers of this particular conundrum ...hiyoooo
Wow! These truths are shocking!
How about the concept of LEAVING THEM ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fascination is what holds interest. May we always have wonder.

Eels hiding their mating rituals, "Mind you own business, human."
this hit me right in the eels
Eel man, you're disgusting!
Most everything has a cuteness factor when babies even eels maybe not the clear phase but juvenile ones
Why does everyone in the media nowadays speak like a (has-been) theatre kid talking to a class of three year-olds?
In Hong Kong peoples raise them in farm and sent to Japan. Japan peoples eat eels. Japan can not raise them in farm fishier because it is too cold.
Smoked eel is really tasty 😋
Same with unagi.
I don't eel like they told us everything.
I know , acts over eelings.
Very interesting, we will fully understand Eels one day!...
They forgot to mention how delicious eels are, fried or smoked, hot or cold.
Wait, I’m a Downstate N.Y. Native and I never was ware that we had eels in the Hudson.
Do they not reproduce in captivity??
How did Seth Rogan become an eel expert on tik tok? And how come no mention of unagi?
I’m sure eels don’t even know how they mate
I don't get why there is not one successful breeding study in captivity.
Eels. How many volts again?
holding a big eel not easy

the potato eaters in my town call that lunch

Soooo they don't breed in captivity. 🤔
Nope still eewwwwww. The Thames was full of them. They still make eel pie. Not to mention Ely. The place of eels.
In Germany smoked eel is a delicate !😋
Not in Berlin! 🤣
I think the Dutch as well, no? so gross ! haha
they may have a 'flower' stage and disperse on the wind.
Maybe...they aren't actually having the sex. Is that really so difficult to understand? 🤷♂️
If only boys could pull off a FAKEABABY fake dna test prank to keep her, LOL!
The eels all meet at bikini bottom
HELLOOO, Folks!! Everything in Creation is CREATED by JESUS CHRIST, HE ALONE Creates and has Created all Living things!! TRUTH!! Genesis 1: 20-31
Do people eat them?
Absolutely, and they are delicious. Smoked, green herb sauce, tomato sauce, cream sauce. Yumm
People will eat anything, especially when it’s covered in condiments.
@@sunshine3914 I won’t eat chicken feet or fish eyes though, no matter in what sauce
