A federal judge has addressed growing discontent among commercial baby eel fishers after the Fisheries Department reallocated a significant portion of the quota to First Nations without proper consultation. Critics claim the decision undermines economic stability in a lucrative fishery and call for a review of the transfer process amid allegations of unfair treatment.
The lucrative fishery has been the source of tension as prices in recent years have ranged between $3,000 and $5,000 per kilogram for the tiny eels, which are shipped to Asia.
HALIFAX - A federal judge has ruled that the Fisheries Department failed to properly consult commercial baby eel fishers when it transferred about 14 per cent of their quota to First Nations.
