Eel trafficking in the EU, the world's 'biggest wildlife crime'

Billions of euros worth of critically endangered eels are being trafficked each year from Europe, ending up on tables in China and Japan in what campaigners say is "the largest wildlife crime on Earth."
"Prices vary so you can only come up with bracket figures, but we're talking billions (of euros). It's the biggest wildlife crime by value on Earth," said Kerr. "It's the most trafficked and travelled animal on the planet." -
"We want to cancel or at least dramatically reduce fishing quotas and reinforce the means to fight trafficking."
