Provided are an eel feed, a method for raising eel fry, and a method for producing cultivated eels, capable of producing cultivated eels having an aroma, flavor, and eating feel equal to that of natural eels. An eel feed obtained by adding to a mixed feed a raw material derived from mantis shrimp, in which only the tail portion is removed from the mantis shrimp and the head portion (head shell and content) and body portion (shell and flesh) are used as raw ingredients. The eel feed is appropriate not only as a feed for adult eel but also for eel fry. By cultivating eels using the eel feed, cultivated eels can be produced that have an aroma, flavor, and eating feel equal to that of natural eels. By giving the eel feed to cultivated eels, the amount of various amino acids in the flesh of the eels is increased. |
