doesn't really suprise me, the elver fishing along the Severn seems almost frenzied, sooo many people with large nets intent on making hundreds from their catch, I don't see how any species can withstand that level of harvest esp if it happens everywhere they return.
The attitude seems to be let's catch as much as we can while the stocks are still there - rather than let's catch less so the stocks can recover
