I've have the pleasure of knowing the man who supplies most of the northeast with eels from canada. He would get 3000lbs every two weeks, and we'd buy on average 25- 50 lb per week of that. It used to be 8 eels per pound now its and now it's more 5 to 6 with the new size limit. Economically, a moratoium will put a serious hurting on many local businesses, land based and water based.
