I'll speak about elvers in the general sense, in that to the best of my knowledge, given my experience, there's no elver fishery occurring anywhere else in eastern Canada. There have been, over the past 20 years, significant reductions in eel fishing in all provinces in eastern Canada. The elver fishery, to the best of my knowledge, occurs only in Nova Scotia, so it's difficult to make any comparison, other than saying that it doesn't happen anywhere else, to the best of my knowledge, so I don't think we can compute illegal activity from one province to the next that way.
