Clayton first started catching bait fish in high school, on the Connecticut River. The Deep River native would catch 50 to 80 pounds of the 3- to 4-inch fish, and sell them to bait shops.The season lasted nine weeks, and catching and selling these fish paid for his dorm and meal plan at Long Island University, where he studied marine science. After graduation, Clayton worked at a striped bass fish farm in Massachusetts, good preparation for his work now.sushi to go cd obregonWhile the killifish business was catch-and-sell, and just seasonal, he started moving toward aquaculture of eels three years ago, eight years after he launched Marine Bait Wholesale.sushi ushi online Clayton began by buying mature eels from Maryland fishermen for his bait shop customers in 2007. jiro dreams of sushi playing in los angeles

"The main reason I started farming them is because I have market demand when there's no wild eels available."In his first year, he bought 17,000 pounds of eels. Last year, he bought 100 tons, and he expects to sell 85 tons this year."I keep it controlled," he said of his growth — from 30 percent to 40 percent a year.Clayton's business is a hybrid of growing eels from bait size to food size and just acting as a broker and distributor between fishermen and either bait shops or food wholesalers.jiro dreams of sushi fire Nanyoung Kim, a New York food importer and exporter, uses Marine Bait as his exclusive supplier of eels. sushi takeout barrie ontarioHe exports live lobster and eels to South Korea. He knows a lot of the fishermen," Kim said.Growing eels in captivity is hard. The first batch, about 40 percent died, Clayton said.

By the third batch, the mortality rate fell to 15 percent. "I had good growth. They tripled in size in four months."But even now, he said, he doesn't always understand why some tanks thrive and some only a handful of the eels grow. They don't die, so they must be eating something, he says, but some eels just don't add weight in the tanks."I got a batch I started feeding in April," he said, when the eels weighed 35 grams on average. "They're eating, but they're still 35 grams."Often, when that happens, he just sells them for bait."They all leave, one way or the other," he says.He still sells minnows that he catches himself. He said that's the best part of the business — going out in a canoe or a small boat with his children and catching fish. He said minnows account for a third of the profits.Marine Bait Wholesale has three full-time employees, including Clayton, and a dozen part-time. He's also the only buyer for a number of fishermen up and down the East Coast."I support directly about 20 families," Clayton said.

Ironically, Marine Bait Wholesale's earnings aren't doing anything to support his own family. He said 102 percent of the profits are plowed back into improvements — he takes no salary. His wife's earnings are what they live on.Clayton's two markets are going in two directions. The bait business is declining about 7 percent to 9 percent a year, as recreational fishing becomes less common. He said part of that decline is because of catch restrictions — "I agree with some of them," he said.Jacob Smith, of Smith Minnow Farm in Victoria, buys eels for fishing bait from Clayton. "He's great, he's the only one that delivers," he said. Smith said that before contracting with Marine Bait Wholesale, he had to go and pick up the eels himself.Al Mackey, owner of Mackey's Bait Shop in Niantic, buys minnows, eels, shiners and mummies from Clayton, and Marine Bait is Mackey's the primary supplier for all those animals. He said most previous suppliers went out of business. "He is reliable," Mackey said.

The appetite for eels to eat is coming from Japan and South Korea. With overfishing in Asia and new catch restrictions in Europe, the market has shifted to the United States. The food market is 45 percent of Clayton's business, and demand is so strong for the very young, very small glass eels from Maine that that could be 99 percent of his business.Whether glass eels or full-grown eels, Clayton said, it would not be profitable to sell all his eels to the restaurant or grocery wholesalers.Clayton is scaling back on glass eels, which accounted for about $2.5 million of his $2.7 million in gross revenues last year. This year, his sales will likely be around $500,000, he said.The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and environmentalists are questioning the volumes of fishing, both of glass eels and of full-grown eels, which could have a huge impact on both the price of eels and his business.Clayton did not back away from glass eels because of environmental pressure, but because the economics were out of whack.
