It would be deeply irresponsible to allow the continuing removal of elvers or adult eels from our UK rivers.

Eel population crashing and will soon be extinct unless we impose restrictions.

The EA was alerted some 30 years ago about the decline in eel numbers but chose to do nothing about the gross over-exploitation of elvers; with the inevitable result. No commercial fishing for elvers should take place at all unless/until eel stocks recover.
