The number that are killed is huge . The price shows how hard elvers are to get. Like all things when huge money is at stake there is no more reason to conserve. I've always wondered how many of these quote commercial fishermen actually pay income tax. Bet not a lot. We used to have so many eels in Maine before the elver thing started that you could drop a minnow trap anywhere water was brackish and get eels.
