| 释义 |
An eel buck or eel basket is a type of fish trap that was prevalent in the River Thames in England up to the 20th century. It was used particularly to catch eels, which were a staple part of the London diet. Eel bucks were baskets made of willow wood, and were often strung together in a fishing weir. Construction of such weirs was outlawed under the terms of Magna Carta: All fish-weirs shall be removed from the Thames, the Medway, and throughout the whole of England, except on the sea coast.[1] However the practice continued unabated, often with adverse effects on navigation. Several islands in the River Thames reflect the presence of bucks at those points; for example, Buck Ait and Handbuck Eyot.[2] A surviving eel buck may be seen on the River Test at {{Coord|51|7|48|N|1|29|5|W|display=inline |region:GB_type:landmark|name=Eel buck on the River Test}}.[3] See also
