Species composition of eels consumed worldwide

The left chart is based on FAO statistics, and the right chart is based on unofficial regional statistics. In both cases, the most widely consumed eel is the American eel, followed by the Japanese eel and the European eel. For the European eel, estimates were adjusted by accounting for consumption within Europe.
