After Hours Lecture Series: Slime and Punishment: The Life, Times and Crimes of the American Eel

Anguilla rostrata is a fish with a storied past and an uncertain future. For hundreds of years, the American eel has filled our fish traps, our plates, our datasets and a booming black market that spans the globe. Join us this evening as we talk about the history and life history of this fascinating species, about Batten School & VIMS contribution to monitoring effort and about our scientists’ participation in the effort to track down an eel smuggling ring that spanned the entire US East Coast.
