When eels are at the stage of maturity, their bodies tend to change, making it a bit difficult. Once the female eel has laid enough eggs, she ends up dying from exhaustion.   95% of the lakes in NZ are drained. Trees and bushes are no longer keeping the water clean and cool. Lowland streams are still-flowing, polluted and warm. Not good for the critters/eels living in them.

Commercial eel fishing is banned in the Mohaka and Motu rivers You can estimate an eels age by examining the yearly growth rings in their otolith.	Plant trees around the awa’s.
