Eben,
No I haven't read that book, is it a layman's explanation or does it contain scientific facts and cites? I've read about the equivalent of four books of scientific papers on the subject of the American eel over the last month or so.
makomike- i have read the book and can only say i was amazed at the time this guy put into reaserching- the eel, the people who catch eels and the people who use/eat them. it is very well written- i blew through it in less than 2 days. if you are writing about eels & fishing this book will give you a pretty good idea of the implications of the commercial impact on the population. he has done his homework and quotes the statistics. if you plan on writting articles about eels you should read this book.
