Fishery Notice

Groundfish Trawl vessel owners/licence eligiblity holders are advised that the 
2017 total Canadian Offshore Pacific Hake quota of 156,067 metric tonnes has 
been allocated as follows:

Shoreside Delivery:                       110,955 metric tonnes
Joint Venture Delivery:                    15,000 metric tonnes
Reserve(inseason allocation): 	      30,112 metric tonnes           

Included in this quota is sum of all individual licences  carryover of 16,284 
metric tonnes (14,704 mt Shoreside IVQ and 1,580 mt Joint Venture IVQ) from the 
2016 season. 

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) has now allocated a further 59,626 
mt of Shoreside delivery quota and 13,420 mt of Joint Venture Delivery quota 
and calculated the appropriate fees for each eligible groundfish trawl licence.
 
Industry is reminded that DFO initially allocated 26,999 metric tonnes of 
Pacific Hake for Shoreside delivery to eligible groundfish trawl licenses on 
February 21, 2017.  

The Groundfish Development Quota portion (10%) of the Shoreside Delivery quota 
(9,625 mt) will be allocated upon completion of the Groundfish Development 
Authority process expected in early September.

The 30,112 mt quota held in Reserve will be allocated by DFO in early August 
following the In-season Hake Advisory Committee (IHAC) review of the 2017 
fishery.   

Payment of the hake fees for each applicable groundfish trawl licence must now 
be made through the National Online Licensing System (NOLS). The applicable 
hake fee loaded into NOLS is based on the combined JV and Shoreside hake 
totals.   
Upon payment of fees, the Groundfish Management Unit (GMU) will assign and 
issue a licence amendment reflecting the revised Offshore Hake IVQ for that 
licensed vessel. Fees owing are based on the permanent individual vessel quota 
percentage (%) of offshore hake for each delivery category held on a licence as 
of June 1st multiplied by the newly released quota multiplied by the $4 per mt 
licence fee for hake.
