Surprising piece of information: on average, European eel reach sexual maturity at large age than any whale species. And certainly much older than any other exploited fish species. That's why short-term measures are not useful. Eels need a moratorium mimicking the whaling ban (see below)

Huh. So is this the same species of parrot they were breeding at Paquime near the US-Mexico border and at Chaco???

🦜🏔️ How did vibrant Amazonian parrot feathers end up in a desert tomb on the Pacific coast of Peru 1,000 years ago? Our new paper on @natcomms.nature.com reveals they didn't just trade feathers, pre-Inca societies transported live macaws and parrots across the Andes!👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
