The roe herring gill net fishery in the Strait of Georgia opened March 6. Total hailed and validated catch to date is 5,680 tons of the 11,571 ton quota. Fishing effort and catch has diminished as spawn has dropped off in the last few days. The roe herring seine fishery took place March 3 to 6 in Baynes Sound. The validated catch for the seine fishery is 8,407 tons, the quota was 8,374 tons. There was a spawn overflight today at 10:30 from Nanaimo up to Kitty Coleman. Viewing conditions were good. 2.8 nm miles of med to light spawn from French Creek up past Columbia Beach. 15 gill net vessels working in the area but shaking appeared to be poor. Next flight planned for 10:30 tomorrow March 15. 44 nm of spawn to date. The DFO charter seine vessel the "Denman Isle" continues to assess herring stocks in the Strait of Georgia and collect biological samples for herring stock assessment. This vessel is currently in upper Area 14, and will be assessing north of Nanaimo for the next several days. These vessels operate under the authority of a DFO scientific licence, and fish are not retained for sale. The spawn dive assessment charter vessels the "Ocean Cloud", "Viking Spirit" and "Waterbear" are conducting dive survey assessment in Area 14.
