cultivation of eel

Actually, since tens and even hundreds of years ago eel is already known in Indonesia, especially by people who live on the island of Java, Sumatra, Madura, and Kalimantan. before 1979, eels are still there in nature so that the results of eels when it is a catch from nature. However, since the pattern of agriculture changed from organic to non-organic (chemical), also the eel catching on a large scale without any cultivation effort resulted in decreasing eel population in nature. Currently, the population of eels in nature is estimated to be only about 10% of the population twenty years ago.

Eel
Actually, the eel's georafis distribution is quite wide, because besides Indonesia also covers southeast asia, Japan, and China. So this area is noted as the biggest consumer eel. However, when compared with other countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia, Indonesia actually has a natural potential that is very suitable for breeding or developing eel cultivation. In addition to the vast natural Indonesia has a tropical climate is believed to be very suitable for cultivate eels.

OVERCOME
Eels into the freshwater fish group that is elliptical like a snake. In addition, eels also have some advantages when compared with other types of fish, among others, as follows:

Rich in protein and minerals
From various studies that have been done, it can be seen that the eel contains a fairly high protein, which is about 6.7g / 100g of meat. so eel can be used as a source of protein that is easily digested by the body compared with beef.

Eel meat is also rich in sesame amino acids such as leucine, lysine, asparagic acid, and glutamic acid which are indispensable for growth and for maintaining nitrogen balance in the body.

When compared to calcium in eggs and beef, eels have a higher calcium value, which is 390 mg per 100 grams of meat. Thus, the eel is one source of excellent calcium for the body. Here I describe the composition of the composition of nutrients between eels, carp, eggs and beef.

Efficacious For Disease Prevention
Eels are rich in iron, which is 20 mg / 100 g. you simply consume 125 grams of eel every day can meet daily iron requirement, which is 25 mg per day. Iron can add hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin serves to carry oxygen throughout the body's tissues and oxidize carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into energy. Energy is used for body activity so as to enhance the immune system.

Eels contain high Vitamin A and indispensable body for growth, sight, and reproduction process. Vitamin B plays a cofactor of an enzyme in the body's metabolic processes and is essential for the development and treatment of brain cells.

The content of various vitamins and minerals in eel meat is needed to maintain the body's metabolism. Vitamin A and C are believed to maintain skin rejuvenation so it will appear more smooth, supple, and more radiant.

Eels contain 200 mg of phosphorus in every 100 grams of meat. The content of phosphorus and calcium function to form the period of bones and teeth so as to prevent osteoporosis.

In addition to containing essential amino acids, eel meat also contains non-essential amino acids, namely argirin. Argirin affects the production of human growth hormone. Argirin also helps improve muscle health and reduces the formation of fat in the body and serves to inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells.

Savory And Delicious With No Flavor
For those of you who like to eat and cook, eel meat can be one option. Eel meat contains a lot of glutamate acid so that the eel has a delicious taste. Thus, you do not need to add monosodium glutamate (MSG) when cooking eel. MSG is believed to be able to trigger the growth of cancer cells.

Easy To Cultivate
Information that is very valuable for those of you who want to entrepreneurship or fill the spare time after work home. Eel cultivation may be used as one side business that is profitable for you. Cultivation of eel is easy to do because it does not play a special time in the maintenance, not eating for many days, and easy to breed. In addition, eels can be cultivated on a narrow land, such as in the yard of the house. Media maintenance is very varied, you can use drums, tarpaulins, toren water, and so forth. In the process of maintenance, actually does not require a large cost to buy feed because eel is very efficient in terms of eating.

As we all know that the eel is a fish that is classified as passive. In search of prey in nature, eels simply create a hole in the mud hiding. If there is a prey that passes over the hole, the new eels eat it. This is very different from other freshwater fish, such as catfish, goldfish, mujahir, and patine that is always actively moving to find prey. Continuous motion activity on other types of fish will certainly drain energy so much needed nutrients compared to the eel is very energy efficient because of minimal movement. That's why the eel is able to survive even if not eating within days. If the eels get enough food, eels will be bigger faster because almost all the nutrients that enter the food into the material to grow and only a few are converted into energy to move.

High Economic Value
In addition to containing high nutrients that can be used as food for preventing malnutrition, treat disease and even cosmetic ingredients, it turns out the eel has a relatively high economic value. With relatively small maintenance costs and relatively high selling prices then eel cultivation is very profitable if done seriously.

Can Become an Export Commodity
Until now, the need for eel is always increasing. Not many countries have a climate and nature that is suitable for eel cultivation. Indonesia, which has a large land area, tropical climate with high rainfall, is one of the few potential countries for cultivation of eels. Besides, the world community awareness of healthy and nutritious food that continues to increase, making the eel as one of the most desirable commodities. About 5,000 tons per week needs a new world eel about 5% that can be met. Therefore, export opportunities for this type of fish is still very wide open.
