With the development of science and technology, though, human beings have begun to realize the breakthrough of artificial culture of eel fry.
Artificial spawning was realized through hormone intervention in adult eels, but the survival rate of artificially cultivated eel fry was very low due to the lack of suitable food after the spawned eel eggs turned into willow leaf eels.

Due to the high price of eel fry, driven by profit, many people are involved in catching eel fry, and a lot of fishermen go on a fishing spree in the sea where eels are often found, which seriously disrupts the eel's breeding rhythm, and causes the number of wild eel fry to decrease drastically.
