ASMFC is still researching the American Eel with an eye toward listing it as "Endangered" or "Threatened". If that happens, they will be illegal to take or posess. But the commission probably will act to list them till late this year at the earliest.

That does not mean that a state could not prohibet their taking. Maybe RI did so.
