I saw this article and it just made me sad.
When I was a kid, around 40 years ago, we used to catch literal bucketfuls of elvers in the local stream during the migration. We'd dump them all back in once the novelty wore off. There would be dozens of kids there.
It seems eels will soon be extinct.
It's mental that's happened in my lifetime.
