Jester Trading went to eel fry trading in 2006 and for two years we learnd a lot about the intricacies of the trade and we need to learn more to support our customers needs and wants.
Because of this experience, in Jan 2008 we established the Babuyan Islands Northern Phils. Aqua Hatchery with two (2) nurseries , a 3500 sq meter
in Cagayan province Northern Philippines as a nursery/holding tank for fries coming the BABUYAN Group of islands located in  extreme
Northern Phils 30 to 60 miles from Taiwan.

We are now in the process  of establishing another much smaller hatchery/nursery of 200 sq. meters in Metro Manila which will be become our main sales and inspection area where our buyers can inspect the fry before consumating the sale and payment.

The role of our Cagayan Province nursery is to replenish our Manila nursery when its fry is sold out and also where the fry can rest prior to shipment to Manila.

Our japanese eel is mostly of the japonica mixed with some marmorata species.

Availabilty of fry is from October to Feb for the smaller ones and for the 2 grams and bigger availability is from Nov to July.
