Tiny, translucent baby eels, called elvers, are back in the news after two Mi’kmaq men from Nova Scotia reported being detained by federal fisheries officers and then left far from home at 1 a.m. — without footwear or phones — after they were caught fishing near Shelburne, N.S.

The federal government closed the lucrative elver fishery on March 11 after violence and intimidation plagued last year’s fishing season in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. But many Mi’kmaq people maintain they have a treaty right to fish for the baby eels.
 

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who called the allegations of mistreatment of the fishers “very troubling,” has promised a complete investigation by his government.

In an emailed statement Thursday, Fisheries Minister Diane Lebouthillier said she intends to meet with Mi’kmaq leaders as soon as possible to discuss the arrests of the two fishers. The minister was not made available for an interview.
