European eels

The European eel is the most trafficked animal in the world, and is critically endangered. Despite this, eels are still caught and sold widely for consumption, commonly as jellied eels. This project is a work in progress. As part of this, Neil documented the work being undertaken by WWT (the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust) and its research partners to capture and tag eels in order to understand how they move around the wetlands bordering the River Severn in Gloucestershire, England.
