Going forward in the management of the elver fishery, we have a number of licensed eel harvesters. Some of them have said to me in meetings that they think it would be better for the entire stock if basically the adult eel fishery ended and those licences were converted to elver fisheries to allow those eels to go back to the Sargasso Sea and reproduce.
Is the department giving any consideration to converting the eel licences to elver licences as part of replenishing or allowing for the growth of the stock?
