Canada’s Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) is reportedly proposing big changes for its elver fishery after it cancelled the 2024 fishing season.

Canada Department of Fisheries and Oceans Minister Diane Lebouthillier completely cancelled the 2024 elver fishery – which runs in the spring – in March 2024 after the season in 2023 was cut short due to rampant poaching. Media reports in 2023 detailed balaclava-clad men poaching the species and instances of violence as they targeted the valuable species – which were sold for as much as CAD 5,000 (USD 3,500, EUR 3,300) per kilgram in the 2022 season.

The 2024 season was also shaping up to be difficult, as the DFO reported arrests and vessel seizures in March, before an official season would have even opened.
