Analysis on Global Eel Aquaculture Conditions

Abstract

This paper analyzes some variation in the global industry and the main producing countries (regions) of production trends based on the 1950-2012 global production data. The results show that in 1950-2012, the overall global production rose rapidly. The world's major producing countries (regions) were variable during different periods, and the industry concentration of the global industry shows a very high feature. China ranks first in the global production since 1989 and plays a very important role in the global industry. About 80% of the global production is in China. The Changes of China's production has a significant effect to the global production. In recent years, due to the long-term high-density overfishing and environmental factors, the global fry recourses are becoming less and less, but it also suffered a serious eel fry supply bottleneck. Currently, the best way to promote the development of aquaculture industry is improving its technical efficiency.
