“Many people tend to think that the extremists, the nutty MAGA people, are inherently incompetent; and that conversely, when you go up on the competence scale, you are likely to encounter fewer ideological extremists. Vought, however, is a fully competent, utterly committed radical ideologue.”

We are attending the Wild Salmon Connections conference this week at Fishmongers Hall in London. Although things may not look great for #salmon populations not all is lost as there is a great deal of work going into reversing that trend.

New #iucn based assessment of conservation status once more shows inland fisheries is not a jey threat. It is pollution, habitat loss etc. in freshwaters. Therefore, attention should focus there. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Sweden not doing enough (anything?) to ensure eels can migrate in rivers and that hydro does the right thing. Thats a pertinent bit of news from "Uppdrag granskning" well done. Did we really need a govt study to prove it, not really. So now lets see some action. www.svt.se/nyheter/gran...

Haiti exported over 173,500 tons of eels in the 2022-2023 fiscal year, generating nearly $13 million. This supports Shiraishi and Kaifu’s conclusion that Haiti has emerged as the biggest player in the global glass eel supply for aquaculture. haitiantimes.com/2024/12/31/h...

Silver and Pearls conference gave new ideas on why Baltic salmon returns were much lower than expected in 2023 and clear insight into the need to manage the Baltic on an eco-system base, not just as individual species. Thanks to all who took the time to be there.

30 kg of glass eels worth EUR 200,000 seized at Lisbon Airport. Interestingly, eels where destined for Senegal - likely just a hub to get them to Asia. www.noticiasaominuto.com/pais/2437216...
