๐Federal officials, including the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), seized 109 kilograms of baby eels at Toronto's Pearson International Airport. Valued between $400,000 and $500,000, the elvers were destined for overseas shipment. Fisheries Minister Diane Lebouthillier emphasized strict enforcement against illegal elver fishing, especially in Nova Scotia, where violence marred last year's season. With elvers fetching $5,000 per kilogram, they rank as Canada's most valuable fish by weight. Increased enforcement has resulted in 149 arrests and the seizure of nearly 208 kilograms of elvers this year.โ . ๐๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ ๐๐ญ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ง๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐๐ฆ๐๐ฅ, ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐๐๐ข๐๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ. ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ: +๐ (๐๐๐) ๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ฅ: ๐ค๐๐ฆ๐๐ฅ@๐ญ๐ก๐๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ข๐๐ง๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐.๐๐จ๐ฆ @kamalpillai_realtor . . #BabyEelSeizure #TorontoAirport #FisheriesOfficials #IllegalFishing #Enforcement #NovaScotiaFishing #FisheryClosure #HighValueFish #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
