US Fish & Wildlife service received a petitiion to list the American Eel as endangered. They are required to investigate it. As a part of that study they have asked NMFS and ASMFC and some state fisheries divisions to do a stock assessment. That is expected to be completed later this year and could cause them to list eels as threatened or endangered. If that happens, you will have a moratorium.
