Fishery Notice

In-season activity and catch reporting is a mandatory requirement under the 
2017-2018 Area B Salmon Seine Conditions of Licence.  This information is 
important for in-season management of the fishery.  Fishery monitoring and 
catch reporting continues to be a fundamental priority for fisheries 
management. Failure to comply with the 2017-2018 Area B Salmon Seine Conditions 
of Licence, in particular those sections specific to activity and catch 
reporting, will be a priority for enforcement action.

A summary of mandatory harvest log and reporting requirements while fishing for 
salmon, as stipulated in the 2017-2018 Area B Salmon Seine Conditions of 
Licence, are as follows:

Report Type - Reporting Deadline - Action
