The main purpose of this study is to evaluate a revolving plate-type biofilter system for mass culture of eels (Anguilla japonica) based on the experimental rearing for 199 days. Water quality, growth efficiency of fish and effects of fish disease control were critically evaluated. The experiment was conducted in two different units, each unit consisting of a cement tank containing $20m^3$ of water. In unit A, a biofilter which includes 400 rotating undulated P. V. C. plates being 70 cm in diameter which rotates at 6 rpm and also 400 undulated P. V. C. plates fixed in the settling chamber of an area of $66{ imes}62cm$. Water was continuously passed through the filter at a rate of 260 l/min., and supplemental water was added to the fish tank at a rate of $4m^3$ a day. In unit B, the biofilter has 400 P. V. C. plates being $66{ imes}62cm$ each was installed in the settling tank. The results gained from the experimental rearing for 199 days from April 21, 1984 to November 5, 1984 are as follows. In the growth experiment, the weight of fish in unit A increased from 3.0 kg to 815.6 kg, while in unit B, from 3.0kg to 416.0kg. During the period of the experiment, in the both units the fish grew at an acceptable rate at the temperature at which they were held. Observing every aspect of eel culture, including growth rate, disease control and water quality, unit A appears to have adventages over unit B, which makes it particuraly attractive in intensive recirculating fish culture system. It was further observed that certain parasites such as Trichodina sp. and Costia sp. could easily be controled by appling 4 ppm of $KMNO_4$.
