Perverse market incentives related to the desirability of rare items are pushing the European eel to extinction, by favoring its exploitation despite extreme scarcity

“En poco tiempo habrá quien se jactará de haber pescado y comido el último salmón de Asturias"

La fiesta de la extinción del salmón en Asturias: hasta 19.000 euros por ejemplares que desaparecen

El ritual festivo de subastar el primer ejemplar se mantiene, aunque la temporada de pesca del salmón ha finalizado con su peor registro histórico: solo 128 capturas, cuando hace 20 años eran 3.000
