歐洲鰻魚（𝘈𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘢）是極度瀕危物種。即使歐盟有出口限制，非法販運幼鰻魚仍然是一個嚴重的問題。大量幼鰻繼續被走私出歐洲，進入高需求的亞洲市場。最近新加坡的一個調查發現，超市、餐廳及批發市場等銷售的鰻魚，除了歐洲鰻魚外，瀕危的美洲鰻魚（𝘈𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘢）亦被廣泛食用，佔當中的七成。估計貿易商可能轉運美洲鰻魚，令該物種面臨進一步的威脅。

The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is a critically endangered species. Despite EU export restrictions, illegal trafficking remains a serious problem. Large quantities of juvenile eels continue to be smuggled out of Europe to meet high demand in Asian markets. A recent investigation in Singapore found that, in addition to European eels, 70% of sampled products from supermarkets, restaurants, and wholesalers contained the endangered American eel (Anguilla rostrata). This suggests that traders may be shifting to American eels, which could further threaten this species.
