Lai Chung-yi, a researcher at the Lukang Branch of the Taiwan Fisheries Research Institute, says that many Taiwanese are unsuccessful when they go to the Philippines or Thailand to raise eels, because the local workers are too rough, so that the eels are either squeezed to death or starve.
鹿港水產養殖所的研究員賴仲義表示，許多台灣人到菲律賓、泰國養鰻不成功，就是因為當地工人太過粗心，使得魚不是撐死、就是餓死。
