The terrible thing about these organized crime #poaching operations of highly threatened American Eel #elvers is that because they were seized at the airport DFO can't return them to the location the were captured, so they have to be destroyed. At 107 kg of weight this translates out to about 1.3 million elver glass eels. This is a terrible loss to their threatened populations. #fisheries#SpeciesAtRisk#eel https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-ont-elver-seizure-1.7208615
