Eel

Reproduction of eels

It has not yet been possible to make reproduction of the European eel in captivity. It is one of the few mysteries that the mankind has not yet been able to solve and one of the things that make the eel to something special.

Therefore are we very proud that DTU Aqua – The National Institute of aquatic Resources which is a part of the Technical University of Denmark in co-operation with the Danish Eel Producer Association have chosen to a establish their research and experiment facilities with us.

Eel production at Lyksvad

Lyksvad fish farm has since 1991 breed European Eel (Anguilla Anguilla). We have an annual production on about 250 tons. The majority of the eels are exported to Holland and Italy but we also sell some to release around in the nature in Denmark and Germany.

Our production of eels is based on fry caught in the rivers along the European west cost. They are transported to Lyksvad where the eels typical are breed for 2 to 4 years before they are sold to particular fish factories in Holland and Italy who makes the eels ready for eating.
