AROUND 9 P.M. ON April 10, 2024, James Nevin parked his truck next to the Shubenacadie Canal in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, scanning the banks for a good spot to fish. There were others already there, so he decided against it; the year before, he had been threatened by other fishers holding guns.
For years, Nevin had earned his living, in part, fishing elvers—baby eels—in the rivers, streams, and canals of Nova Scotia. That spring, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) had announced it would not open elver fishing season, citing illegal fishing as a threat to stock health and commenting that the...
