Some Mi’kmaq harvesters say working within Ottawa ’s quotas for the contentious baby eel fishery is helping calm the tense atmosphere in their river workplaces.

Under the new system, the First Nations under the KMK umbrella have exclusive rights.

The eight First Nations in KMK have received a total quota of about 20 per cent of the total elver catch for the Maritimes.

With current prices, five kilograms of elvers brings in about $7,500 , a fraction of the roughly $30,000 Pennell said he could earn a few seasons ago .

The elver income helps his daughter, who fishes her quota alongside him, to cover expenses like her university tuition.
