Challe, I found this in the report regarding the number of eels.
The first batch of 400,000 eel fingerlings (sized about 30mm in length) was imported from Madagascar during late February 2014 and placed into the R&D station to study their adaptibility and growth rate in Guangzhou City districts in preparation for importing fingerlings to be grown in our APM farms starting in October 2014 to mid-March 2015. There were fairly high mortality rate with these batch of eel fingerling from Madagascar due to that they have not been fed properly while they were kept at Madagascar, as such the R&D station had hard times in nurturing them back to health resulting in much higher mortalities than originally expected. However by the end of April 2014, the R&D station managed to save over 300,000 baby eels with majority of them reaching 25 cm in length.Some 200,000 baby eels has been sold by the R&D station to Prawn Farm (2) for their 2nd stage of grow-out.
