Fishery Notice

In-season activity and catch reporting is a mandatory requirement under the 
2017-2018 Area E 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 as a fundamental 
priority for fisheries management. Failure to comply with the 2017-2018 Area E 
Salmon Gill Net Conditions of Licence, in particular those sections specific to 
activity 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 2017-2018 Area E 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 24 hours following the completion of a fishery 
opening and prior to commencing a subsequent fishing trip - Phone AMR/E-Log

Daily Catch Report - in Areas 16 to 19, 28 and 29, for each day fished by 08:00 
h of the following day and in Areas 20, 21, 22 and 121 not later than 24 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 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 provide an End 
Fishing Report at this time as well. E-log users must digitally transmit this 
information using a properly encoded electronic mail message.
