This trend is quite understandable because eels thrive in vast environments, have high and stable economic value, and are favored by developed countries.

Nutritional Benefits of Eels

- Rich in Vitamin A: A vitamin that helps detoxify the skin, keeping it smooth and healthy.

- DNA Formation: Eel protein supports cell formation, development, and division. Some pharmaceuticals contain eel protein to aid in cell regeneration.

- Rich in Vitamin B: This vitamin supports the digestive system, helping the human body absorb nutrients better and is very beneficial for the nervous system.

- Rich in Phosphorus: Phosphorus plays a role in the development and maintenance of bones, joints, and teeth.

- Rich in Zinc and Vitamin B6: These nutrients positively affect calming the nervous system and contribute to mental health maintenance.

- Rich in Potassium: Potassium is essential for brain function. Eels contain high levels of potassium, which helps transport oxygen to the brain and stimulates good nervous system activity, preventing strokes—a disease we have seen more frequently.

Stable el Imports by Developed Countries

For developed countries, the quality of life is much higher than in underdeveloped nations. In their daily meals, we see that the food and drinks in developed countries are of a higher quality, containing many nutritious ingredients that benefit health.

Among seafood products, eels are classified as a high-end item, highly favored by countries like Japan, South Korea, and various European nations. This high demand and the economic value of eels keep their market stable and profitable. This is one of the main reasons why so many people are getting into eel farming.

If you're considering raising fish, eel farming is an excellent option. Eels can be raised in industrial-scale ponds lined with tarpaulins, offering high efficiency.
