Wolf Eels

Wolf Eels, fierce-looking predators of the Oregon near-shore reefs, are bred in captivity at the Oregon Coast Aquarium, at Newport. The artificial habitat there mimics natural ocean conditions so effectively, two sets of mated wolf eels produced eggs. The aquarists' challenge -- see that the eggs hatch, and the young wolf eels survive. We watch aquarium scientists employ their considerable expertise and resources to keep the tiny creatures on the road to adulthood.
