There is absolutely no justification for depleting our own rivers to supply places which have ruined their own!

There will be no eels left in our rivers or lake which help to make up part of the eco system.You just have to look around Japans water to see why they need to keep on importing everything as they have decimated their own fishing waters.

We see so few eels now in our rivers. It is crazy to reduce numbers further.

No justification for this trade to continue.

Given the massive decline in eel numbers it's absurd they're being harvested.

An absolute disgrace to be exploiting endangered eels this way. You could not make this up.

I am in agreement. Followed the link from flyforums to get here!

Our eels are endangered, so it's beyond belief that we are harvesting the elvers in record numbers and even exporting them. Stop the export as a first step.

Massive decline (95%) in eel numbers over the last few decades for reasons not entirely understood. Surely this is a piece in the jigsaw that is. Stop it now, thanks
