Some time ago the eel technical committee sugested a ban on the harvest of the adult, silver eels, but the Management board never acted on it. 99% of the eels caught in the wild and sold for food are silver eels. I think they thought they were doing fishermen a favor by putting bait use and food use on an equal footing. Otherwise it would be easy for some to say, hey they're only using them for bait, so close that fishery down first.
