| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Discrimination method to distinguish wild and stocked Japanese eel was developed. Based on investigation of 20 eel farms in 4 prefectures, we found eel farms use freshwater of 28-30 ℃ in general. Oxygen and carbon stable isotope ratios of 106 wild eels and 314 cultured eels were compared and non-linear discrimination analysis was applied. 98.6% of the training data was correctly discriminated. The discrimination model was then applied to 20 eels caught in Mikata Lake, where no or little eels are now recruiting. 90% of the eels was discriminated as eels once cultured in eel farm, i.e., stocked eels.
