Reading again from Eels, An Exploration, from New Zealand to the Sargasso, of the World’s Most Mysterious Fish, by James Prosek. Today, parts of Chapter 4, More Tales of Taniwha,  and then pivot to a parallel subject in NZ to here in our Driftless Area streams, and a good change that might be on the horizon. Then I will move back to parts of Chapter 5, The First Taste of Freshwater, and then discuss some of what I’ve learned about the commercial exploitation of glass eels and elvers, (the early juvenile stages of freshwater eels lives), overharvested as tiny young, before they have any chance to reproduce.
