Ruth Sanderson meets eighth-generation eel fishermen on Lough Neagh in Northern Ireland. With 80% of their catch exported to Holland and Germany, and export and import of the protected European eel currently prohibited from and into the EU, Brexit presents an uncertain future for the eel fishery. Eel fisherman Martin Devlin is worried that the fishery will close down, and his fisherman son, Ryan, is wondering how he'll be able to support his young family.
Producer: Beatrice Fenton.
