"Exploring the Elver: From Madrid to Gloucestershire, a Journey of European Eels" In the vibrant city of Madrid, at the iconic Mercado de San Miguel they can served up as a delicacy. These tiny creatures, known as European Eel (Anguilla anguilla) immature, captivate visitors with their close-up heads peeking out from tanks. Across the pond in Nottinghamshire, England, elver fishing takes place on the River Severn. Underneath moonlit skies in April nights, dedicated fishermen collect these elusive eels using nets and buckets. The excitement fills the air as they empty their catch into buckets brimming with wriggling elvers. Back at headquarters in Gloucestershire's captive rearing project for European Eels, juvenile eels swim together harmoniously in large tanks. These young eels are being nurtured and protected to ensure their survival and conservation efforts. Andrew Kerr proudly holds a tray filled with glass eels - one step closer to becoming mature adults - showcasing his dedication towards this captivating species. At this captive rearing project headquarters, Live Elvers boxes house these precious creatures while they continue to grow under careful observation. The intricate beauty of glass eels is showcased against a net backdrop at the captive rearing project headquarters. Their translucent bodies shimmer under artificial light; an enchanting sight that highlights nature's wonders. From Spain's bustling markets to England's tranquil riverside scenes and conservation projects – this journey through Europe showcases both human fascination and commitment towards preserving these remarkable elvers.
