<That must have been a small one Jester if it could only manage a car.>
I just said what happened to my neighbour while the issue was eels, Keith. I didn't say that this particular one was one of the bigger ones. ;o) (Come to think of it, I haven't seen the trailer to their horse lately either.) /Jester -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För KEITH PASSANT Skickat: den 23 juli 2005 21:47 Till: [email protected] Ämne: Re: [VFB] Freshwater eels That must have been a small one Jester if it could only manage a car. We get them in the .UK but not to the same size as the NZ fish. There has been a bit of a decline in numbers of these fish here and no-one is sure as yet why this is. In the UK there is a run each year of eel fry (elvers) which are regarded as a delicacy in the so say posh restaurants and they have been fetching stupid prices per kilo of upto £400 plus. This has bought out the unscrupulous who have been robbin the elver fishers of their catch on the river bank. The methods used by the fishers are unchanged for the past 100+ years so they wont be a significant cause of the decline in adult fish. The research continues... KP Does anybody have anything like this where you are in the US or Europe? <img src="http://www.geocities.com/bensshack/eel.JPG";> Wes Wada Bend, Oregon
