Catching eels itself is not illegal, because eels themselves do not belong to the state protected organisms, and are not terrestrial wildlife that can be infected with viral diseases after contacting or consuming them, such as the pneumonia epidemic. In addition, the Chinese people eat eel and trade eel history is very long, and not just a few decades before the emergence of.

The eel itself is not a protected animal, nor is it a prohibited species, so it's logical to assume that it's not illegal to fish for eels, but there are many ways to fish for eels, and some of them are illegal.

1. Cage fishing: This is the most popular method of fishing at present and even before. All kinds of cages can be caught, now fishing crayfish long cages, as well as floating cages, eel basket made of bamboo pieces and other fishing tools, can catch eels, but also the state regulations are legal.

2. pulling out eel holes :We have experience here in the farmers, a pulling out eel holes inside the eel can be harvested dozens of kilograms per day can be sold for more than 1,000 yuan, a joke, which is much stronger than working, in our area is not yet widespread crayfish farming, every year, after April, will always be in the rice paddies as well as ditches inside the eel holes to see the professional pulling out eel holes of the farmers, the daily harvest is very substantial! The daily harvest is very considerable. Can be fished until the fall, it is said that the eel hole farmers can earn a more than 60,000 each year, a small life is still particularly nourishing.

3. Fishing for eels: Fishing for eels can be said to be a technical work, but also very interesting, and most of the eel holes inside the eel are growing long years of big eels. Use the umbrella frame above the wire to do fishing hooks, first one end of the concrete ground grinding point and then use a lighter to burn the tip of the bend, and finally became the eel hooks, I went to the river every year to fish eels in the rock crevice, a fishing a accurate.

Second, the illegal fishing methods:

1. Electricity to beat the eel: eel with electric fishers, objectively speaking, the former rural areas, including our place. Is a very common thing, I remember before we have not dug here when the rice shrimp field, every night in the summer, we have a lot of people here are electric fishers, to go to the rice field ditch inside as well as the river to fight fish, including eels, leeches and frogs, may not know the harm of electrofishing it is now absolutely not allowed to use the electrofisher, one is not allowed by the state, and secondly, is now inside the rice shrimp rice field electric eel! If so, it will kill or maim many shrimp seedlings, so I still agree with the state's ban. This month we have someone here in the river during the day with the electric fishers fishing, and finally caught, things and fish all confiscated, and finally fined 2,000 yuan, the warning effect is still more obvious, basically we see here again not to big to use the electric fishers fishing.

2. drug eel:

Drugs to catch eels in our area before is also a relatively common phenomenon, especially rice shrimp fields, every time to plow the field will be sprinkled with furadan inside the paddy field, after 10 minutes, the paddy field inside the floating out a lot of struggling to cheap, most of the farmers a bit of conscience will be the poisoning of these have not yet died! The eel, collected and then buried with the soil, but also some people to sell these medicine eel to the market for money, I think this practice is a bit unethical, know that the medicine eel is poisonous still sell, I used to eat a medicine eel, eat after the body have grown a few big bags, proving that the medicine eel is poisonous, it is best not to eat.

Now rice and shrimp fields, sometimes farmers in the need to use tea seed cake to clear the fish, tea seed cake on the human body basically no poison, so these are tea seed cake medicine eel loach and crucian carp I think you can eat, will not be harmful to the human body. However, we here generally will not eat these with tea seed cake medicine over the miscellaneous fish, not that the fear of poisoning, the main reason is that these fish, including loach eel and crucian carp are not scarce, so it is not particularly rare.

Above is for you to analyze the eel fishing method is illegal in several ways, and secondly, to determine whether the fishing eel is illegal there is a little standard is the fishing attitude. Why do you say so? The reason is as follows.

Attitude of eel fishing:

In our area there is no digging rice shrimp field time, no matter what way to catch eels, are tacitly recognized. I remember that we used to go to the paddy field ridges and ditches to look for eels every night time, anyone's paddy field could be searched and no one said anything, whereas during the daytime fishing for eels or digging out eel holes in other people's field ridges, ditches or riverside was not said anything.

But since the general rice paddies were transformed into rice shrimp paddies, we have a lot fewer people fishing for eels in other people's rice shrimp paddies, for the simple reason that people are raising crayfish inside the rice shrimp paddies, and it's hard to believe that you're not stealing crayfish when you go to these rice shrimp paddies and hang out inside them, so out of this kind of consideration, there are very few people fishing for eels inside other people's rice paddies nowadays. The main reason for this is to avoid suspicion. Mainly to avoid suspicion. In addition, the use of electric fishers to fight eels, the damage to the crayfish is very large, the reason we all understand.

Summary:

In short, the eel itself is not a nationally protected organism, not a source of human viral infections, so the eel can be eaten, can also be farmed for sale, but some of the eel fishing methods are illegal, try not to try, in fact, most of the eels in the rice shrimp fields of the farmers are now catching eels with the ground cages, and we do not lack of eels to eat.

Eels in the past in our rural areas often see, which time at night will go to the fork fish, there is no emergency lights in the past. There is no electronic equipment, are using earth methods, the old pine tree core split into small pieces, and then make an iron cover to more than two meters long bamboo set in the iron pipe. And then buy a money harpoon, is such a simple tool. Because the old pine tree has oil shine up very bright, every night out can fork to a lot of loaches and eels in the field a lot. In the daytime when the rainy day eel especially much, see the field everywhere there is a hole, an eel will play two holes. A side into a side out, catching two hands on one side of a hole to reach in can be caught. Can not go to a hole to catch him will be drilled off, the past loach and eel especially, now it is difficult to see, because now planting are fertilizers and pesticides, so it is difficult for fish to survive. Plus there are a lot of people with hemp fish machine to fight the fish, the future is less and less.

Why eel is not considered a protected animal, catching it is not a crime. This is because the earthworm is a high-yield multi-product species, there is it strong survival, no matter how dry the ground, even if half a year without food, as long as the hole in a little moisture can live, it is a high reproduction rate, it is a transgender species, hours are female, big turn male, people tend to catch the big catch more than the rest of the small is mostly female, and the female eel reproduction rate is high. Now, despite the fact that people wantonly catch, the total amount of less than in the past, but not to the endangered and cause extinction.

Because there is no legislation in the country!

Why isn't it illegal to catch eels?

Unlike ordinary fish or wildlife, eels have a very strong vitality and reproduction capacity, and if you don't catch them, they will flood and destroy the environment.

"The wild eel will be flooded if it is not caught for two or three years" is the old generation's evaluation of the eel's vitality and reproduction. Although eels undergo a sexual reversal from female to male after sexual maturity and reproduction, they still have a very strong reproductive force. Along with the amazing reproductive power, the survival rate of the young is also very high, so the number of wild eels is very high.

The eels are extremely resilient and can live for a long time in their holes without water, no less than the blackfish, and can survive in very dirty gutters.

In order to facilitate feeding, eels like to settle in small shallow water ditches and holes, so much so that the ditches and ridges next to paddy fields have become the first choice for eels to settle in, and if you do not catch the eels off, the eels will grow bigger and bigger, and the holes will get bigger and bigger, and the water will flow out of the fields and cause damage, even if it is not too much to designate it as a harmful fish, and it would be good to catch it.

Eel is not only delicious, and nutritious blood replenishment, especially in the summer eat especially good for the body, with a high economic benefits, but also not like bats pangolin as carrying viruses, catching eels naturally does not violate the law.

In the same year, the eels in the same place will be less and less, the smaller and smaller, but the next year there will be a lot of eels, which is the eel's strong reproduction and vitality.

In summary, catching eels is not a crime, and there is no law that makes catching eels a crime.

Soon, the wild eels can't be caught, the resources are too small, most of the eels nowadays are artificially bred, how many wild ones are left?

Don't be too happy.

Don't get too excited. In a couple of years, even flies and mosquitoes will be protected animals.

Last year, the night to go to the field ditch fishing can also get a half a catty a catty, and now go to only a strip of chopsticks, the field at night with a light of nine out of ten electrically charged, things are so screwed up.

The key is that now the farmland is seriously polluted, and there are still eels there!

Mere wild waters to catch eels is not illegal and not a crime, detained in the case is likely to be mistakenly into the breeding area, such a case is required to bear civil liability.
