Hey. It had to happen. The state’s 400 licensed eel fishermen are being filmed for a show called ‘Eel of Fortune.’

April 3, 2013 New England

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing.
