Fishery Notice

The list of alternate vessels for the WCVI limited effort chum fisheries 
provided in FN0710 was incorrect. The list is corrected from #15, #7 and #5 
onwards for the Nootka, Esperanza and Kyuquot fisheries respectively. To date, 
all top four vessels selected have indicated their intention to participate in 
these fisheries planned for 2017. The full corrected notice is as follows:

Further to FN0672 and FN0550, the selection by random draw for the WCVI limited 
effort chum assessment fisheries was concluded at the DFO Port Alberni office 
on July 21. The first fishery drawn was for Nootka followed by Esperanza and 
lastly for Kyuquot. Vessels selected in the top 4 were ineligible for draws in 
fisheries selected later. The following is the ranked list of selected vessels

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.
