 | A rare eel has been discovered in a waterway of a Black Country canal – after making an epic 4,000 mile journey across the Atlantic Ocean from Bermuda. The creature, thought to be more than 20 years old, was discovered |
by the Canal and River Trust charity in a waterway near West Bromwich following a canal clean-up.
Nearly 200lb of fish recently had to be rescued from the waterway following a ‘pollution incident’ along the nearby Ridgacre Branch Canal.
The eel was found by James Kirk, a staff member of MEM Fisheries, which was contracted out by the Canal River Trust to rescue the fish.
