Giselle Galoustian, Florida Atlantic University, Oct. 20, 2020—It took scientists in Japan more than 50 years to successfully spawn eels in captivity to help preserve the species.

Building upon the lessons learned by their scientific colleagues in Japan, FAU Harbor Branch scientists have figured out the life cycle of bonefish in captivity to help inform management and conservation of this revered fishery for the multi-billion dollar sports fishing industry.
