Additional information on the WCVI limited effort fisheries being considered 
will be provided in subsequent Fishery Notices. As a reminder, below is the 
information previously provided in FN0550 and FN0672:

Limited effort WCVI chum assessment fisheries being considered for 2017 include 
Nootka (Area 25), Esperanza (Area 25) and Kyuquot (Area 26). Pre-season 
forecasts and fishery reference points are as follows:

Fishery; forecast; forecast range; lower fishery reference point; target 
fishery reference point.

Nootka; 41,000; 20,000-63,000; 26,000; 53,000
Esperanza; 60,000; 30,000-90,000; 24,000; 50,000
Kyuquot; 62,000; 24,000-99,000; 25,000; 68,000

These fisheries are being planned with the following management measures; 
however consultations with First Nations in some of these areas are on-going 
and therefore are subject to change.

4 vessels
2 days per week
Daylight hours only
60 mesh nets with a minimum mesh size of 149 mm 
Start date no earlier than September 25

Please note:

The Area D Harvest Committee has offered a fifth spot in each fishery to the 
local First Nations if they would like to participate.

The Nootka fishery could be upgraded to a full fleet fishery depending on in-
season information.

Esperanza fisheries in past years have achieved estimated harvest rates well 
above the 15% target. The fishing area for Esperanza will be significantly 
reduced in 2017 to drop the harvest rate down to the 15% target.
