Baby eels remain one of America’s most valuable fish after strong year in Maine

  • Fishermen in Maine experienced a productive season for elvers, or baby eels, which are highly valued by Asian aquaculture companies and can be worth over $2,000 per pound.
  • The Maine Department of Marine Resources reported that the fishermen had nearly reached their combined quota of just under 10,000 pounds for the year by early May due to favorable weather and strong international demand.
  • The worldwide industry for eels has faced challenges due to poaching and illegal dealing, with some North American unagi samples found to contain banned European eels in a recent study.
