Breakthrough in breeding eels in New Zealand

摘要

Mahurangi Technical Institute (MTI), started by Paul Decker as a private marine training centre in 1997, is now a joint private-government enterprise. Situated at Warkworth, 65km north of Auckland, its prime purpose is 'To encourage a love of knowledge by the teaching of essential skills for living in today's modern world'. But MTI is more than that: they have developed a research branch that has taken them down several paths, none more exciting than the spawning and hatching of short-finned eels (Anguilla australis).
