According to the experience of the older generation, it is generally believed that "Monopterus albus is ten years older than a catty", that is to say, it is difficult for most wild Monopterus albus to grow to 1 catty in their lifetime. However, those raised artificially are another matter.

Although eel is rich in nutrition, it is recommended that you eat as little wild eel as possible. Monopterus albus grows slowly. The heavier the Monopterus albus, the longer it will be, and the more bacteria will be parasitic in the body, which will inevitably lead to danger due to unclean treatment.

Extended information Wild Monopterus albus is neither as superior as the artificially raised environment nor as rich as the artificially put food, so it is conceivable that its growth rate is slower. According to my comrade-in-arms' father, wild Monopterus albus grew mainly by microorganisms and plankton in mud or ponds when he was a child, and the speed was particularly slow. And those who don't live in ponds, ditches and other rich resources grow even slower.

However, it is very good that the wild eel can grow to half a catty in three years, and with the growth of age, the growth of eel gradually slows down, and it is really rare to grow to more than a catty.
