It became known as Simon's shark slime.

Look at that lovely, black shark slime.

There are electric eels in this small lake.

Some people dislike eels because they look like snakes.

So this is possibly going to be my legacy Simon's shark slime.

Consumers and distributors of eels also bear considerable responsibility for the situation.

So I scraped the slime off and I sent it off to Aberdeen.

Kevin Bain thinks the 75 fish could be sand eels deposited by a waterspout.

So we thought, okay, we're going to try to get out and get some slime.

But I kept emailing, saying, Have you had a chance to look at my slime yet?

A common misconception is that glass eels can be farmed to keep up with the increased demand.

However, eels are catadromous, meaning that part of their life circle is in freshwater and part in saltwater.

To break the demand supply cycle, some Japanese have started consumer campaigns to reduce the consumption of eels.

And in about half an hour, we got five samples, five individual sharks, were sampled using Simon's shark slime sampling system.

Several reported they could supply for export hundreds of kilos of glass eels of a variety of eel species every month.

Skyrocketing demand for glass eels, once considered a highbrow delicacy, is pushing fishermen to exhaust the population and causing prices to soar.

So by just rubbing the mop handle down the shark as it swam under the boat you see, here's a shark that's running under the boat here we managed to collect slime.

Since there was no current method to reproduce the eel larvae, the fishermen need to catch the wild glass eels when they enter the river and travel upstream and farm them in ponds.

The Sargasso provides spawning and nursery habitat for scores of species, including endangered American and European eels, which travel thousands of miles from rivers and streams to spawn in the itinerant mats of vegetation.

And I remembered I used to spend a lot of time out on commercial fishing boats I remember fishermen telling me they can always tell when a basking shark's been caught in the net because it leaves this black slime behind.

He sat in the middle of the room, holding with both hands to a bench, from which a soldier a brother of the mistress of the house was tugging him by his slime covered boots, and he was laughing with his infectiously merry laugh.

Otherwise the stocks will become even more seriously depleted, and we are liable to sink into a descending spiral in which consumers tire of low quality eels and stop buying them, causing the eel industry s profits to decline further and the business as a whole to weaken.
