Do you enjoy eating ‘unagi’ or eel? Do you know the eel meat that you are consuming could be from an endangered species? A Yale-NUS College research team examined 327 individual eel products purchased across 86 retailers throughout Singapore, and found out that the endangered American eel (Anguilla rostrata) is commonly sold for consumption here. This calls for more attention to prevent the species from becoming critically endangered. Read more about the research in the press release below.

High demand for eel combined with decline in stock have resulted in soaring prices for this food item, which in many cultures, is considered a delicacy. This has fuelled a concern globally as the prized food item is now being illegally traded from Europe to Asia.
