Fishery Notice

In-season activity and catch reporting is a mandatory requirement under the 
2017-2018 Area D Salmon Gill Net Conditions of Licence.  This information is 
important for in-season management of the fishery.  Furthermore, Fisheries and 
Oceans Canada has identified improved catch monitoring and reporting as a 
fundamental priority for fisheries management. Failure to comply with the 2017-
2018 Area D Salmon Gill Net Conditions of Licence, in particular those sections 
specific to activity reporting and catch monitoring, will be a priority for 
enforcement action.

A summary of mandatory harvest log and reporting requirements while fishing for 
salmon, as stipulated in the 2017-18 Area D Salmon Gill Net Conditions of 
Licence, are as follows:

Report Type - Reporting Deadline - Action

Start Fishing - Before starting a fishing trip - Phone AMR/E-Log

End Fishing - Within 24 hours after end of trip - Phone AMR/E-Log

Cancel Fishing - Within 72 hours after intended start - Phone AMR/E-Log

Pause Fishing - Not later than 12 hours following the completion of a fishery 
opening and prior to commencing a subsequent fishing trip - Phone AMR/E-Log

Daily Catch Report - Not later than 12 hours following the completion of a 
fishery opening - Phone AMR/E-Log

Offload Catch Report - not required in 2017
                          
Note: Daily Catch must be recorded in the harvest log for each day fished by 
23:59 hours of that day or prior to each landing. Daily Catch Report 
Confirmation Numbers must be recorded on the Daily Catch Record page in the 
harvest log for each day fished. For paper harvest log users, all report 
confirmation numbers are acquired by phoning Archipelago Marine Research (AMR) 
after completion of the fishery opening. For example, a 3 day fishery opening 
would require 3 Daily Catch Report Confirmation numbers. Most fishers would 
also acquire an End Fishing Report at this time as well. E-log users must 
digitally transmit this information using a properly encoded electronic mail 
message.
