Now that you mention it, I do remember that there are both freshwater 
and saltwater eels. I hadn't realized though that the freshwater eels 
needed to spawn at sea. This means you can't just indefinitely raise 
them in a pond as you can catfish. The pond simply becomes a holding 
area which you must replenish with new eels from the sea. Do eels swim 
up stream seasonally similar to salmon?
