La fiesta de la extinción de la anguila.

13.000 euros el kilo en una subasta.

Cómo el deseo humano de exclusividad está llevando a este especie a su desaparición definitiva.

Mensaje claro de Ángel León en Ig (gracias, cocinero!):
"Anímate y no cocines angulas"
La anguila no da para más. Hay que dejar de pescarla, comprarla, cocinarla y comerla
Y hay que decirlo

Es muy llamativo el maltrato al agua y a los ríos si tenemos en cuenta nuestra gran dependencia de ambos. Recordemos lo básico, recuperemos la naturalidad de rios y cauces y concedámonos la oportunidad de disfrutarlo.

@icesmarine.bsky.social has just issued its 2025 advice for eels. Again (!!), it recommends zero-catches for all life stages, in all habitats and all aims (including aquaculture and stockings)
We must stop marketing eels now to avoid their extinction

🐟 La #anguila europea está al borde del colapso

👉 Urge actuar para protegerla:
→ Perseguir el tráfico ilegal
→ Incluir todas las especies en #CITES
→ Moratoria a su pesca
→ Eliminar obstáculos y restaurar la conectividad fluvial

El ritual festivo de subastar el primer ejemplar se mantiene, aunque la temporada de pesca del salmón ha finalizado con su peor registro histórico: solo 128 capturas, cuando hace 20 años eran 3.000
