US-ENVIRONMENT-JAPAN-FOOD-FISH-EELS
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY SEBASTIAN SMITH
A freshman biology student from Mount Saint Mary's College counts glass eels that were caught in a trap on the Quassaick Creek May 1, 2013 in Newburgh, New York as part of a project by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and and Cornell’s Water Resource Institute to monitor eel populations. Eels are under pressure in the Atlantic region, very restricted fishing is allowed in the US and the European Union. There is special demand in Japan where it is believed to have medicinal benefits. The captured eels were later released upstream in the creek. AFP PHOTO/Stan HONDA
