Features: The culture of European eel is a new industry that has rapidly developed in China in recent years. Through continuous exploration and summarization of experiences and lessons learned by fish farmers, eel culture practitioners, and technical personnel in production practice, the culture technology, management level, and economic benefits have gradually improved. To promote and popularize the technology of European eel culture, enhance scientific management, increase yield per unit, reduce production costs, improve economic benefits, meet the needs of consumers, and promote the healthy and steady development of European eel culture in China, we have organized experts with both theoretical knowledge and practical experience. They have collected a large amount of foreign technical materials, carefully summarized new experiences from production practices across various regions in China, especially the effective practical experiences accumulated in scientific research and production in recent years. Through systematic summarization, organization, and refinement, they have meticulously compiled the book "European Eel Culture Technology" as a gift to readers. The book is divided into several parts: Preface, Introduction, Taxonomic Status and Geographic Distribution of European Eel, Life History, Morphological Structure and Biological Characteristics, Capture and Rearing of Natural Fry, Freshwater Culture, Sea Water Culture, Freshwater Closed-Loop Recirculating Water Temperature Control Culture, Disease Prevention and Control, and Nutrition and Feeds. The book is rich in content, detailed in technical aspects, and innovative, covering the entire process of artificial culture production of European eel. It reflects the latest achievements, technologies, experiences, and levels in European eel culture research and production in China and internationally. It is highly practical and easy to operate, making it suitable for eel culture practitioners. The language is clear and concise, with numerous illustrations, making it suitable for fish farmers, aquaculture producers, fish farming technicians, professional fish farmers, aquaculture technology extension personnel, as well as teachers and students of aquaculture universities, researchers, and administrative and technical personnel in aquaculture management departments. This book is edited by Xie Zhongming, a National Aquaculture Technology Extension Researcher from the National Aquaculture Technology Extension Station of the Ministry of Agriculture, as the Editor-in-Chief.
