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.
