From July 2008 to June 2009, livers of the swamp eels (Monopterus alba) were investigated for advanced third-stage larvae (AL3) of Gnathostoma spinigerum. Results revealed that 10.2% (106/1,037) and 20.4% (78/383) of farmed eels from Aranyaprathet District, Sa Kaeo Province and those of wild-caught eels obtained from a market in Min Buri District of Bangkok, Thailand were infected, respectively. The prevalence was high during the rainy and winter seasons. The infection rate abruptly decreased in the beginning of summer. The highest infection rate (13.7%) was observed in September and absence of infection (0%) in March-April in the farmed eels. Whereas, in the wild-caught eels, the highest rate (30.7%) was observed in November, and the rate decreased to the lowest at 6.3% in March. The average no. (mean${\pm}$SE) of AL3 per investigated liver in farmed eels ($1.1{\pm}0.2$) was significantly lower (P=0.040) than those in the caught eels ($0.2{\pm}0.03$). In addition, the intensity of AL3 recovered from each infected liver varied from 1 to 18 ($2.3{\pm}0.3$) in the farmed eels and from 1 to 47 ($6.3{\pm}1.2$) in the caught eels, respectively. The AL3 intensity showed significant difference (P=0.011) between these 2 different sources of eels. This is the first observation that farmed eels showed positive findings of G. spinigerum infective larvae. This may affect the standard farming of the culture farm and also present a risk of consuming undercooked eels from the wild-caught and farmed eels.

1984년(年) 5월(月)부터 1985뚜 4월(月)까지 1년간(年間) 천연산(天然産) 잉어 및 붕장어의 계절에 따른 어묵 원료적성(原料適性)을 실험한 결과. 잉어는 일반성분(一般成分)의 계절변화가 거의 없었으며 년중(年中) 어묵의 품질이 모두 양호하였다. 붕장어는 수분과 조지방의 년중(年中) 변화복(變化福)이 각각 $61.0{\sim}76.6%$, $5.4{\sim}20.8%$로써 변화가 컸고 $9{\sim}2$월(月)의 것은 $3{\sim}8$월(月)의 것보다 수분은 적고 지방함량은 많았으며 이 시기(時期)에 어획(漁獲)한것으로 만든 어묵 가공제품(加工製品)은 다른 때의 것보다 품질이 우수하였다. 단백질, 회 및 탄수욕물 함량은 년중(年中)거의 변화가 없었다.
