@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

Perverse market incentives related to the desirability of rare items are pushing the European eel to extinction, by favoring its exploitation despite extreme scarcity

“En poco tiempo habrá quien se jactará de haber pescado y comido el último salmón de Asturias"

La fiesta de la extinción del salmón en Asturias: hasta 19.000 euros por ejemplares que desaparecen

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
