Japanese Eels In Danger Of Extinction With Rising Water Temperatures

YILAN, TAIWAN - FEBRUARY 17: A Worker wearing a hard hat, facemark and protection clothing walks past a factory in Kaohsiung Industrial Park on February 17, 2016 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Japanese and European glass eels have been on the danger of extinction as the ocean gets warmer as a result of climate change. Also known as Unagi, the Japanese eels are a traditional Japanese delicacy but prices have risen in recent years due to declining population. A large portion of eels are imported from Taiwan where glass eels are raised from local farms but due to the declining population, their price have risen from 10NTD to 180NTD per eel over recent years.
