Notes:

This is the first commercial opening for the 2019/20 season. Licence holders 
must be in possession of the 2019/20 commercial licence in order to participate.

Review the 2019/20 Scallop by Trawl Integrated Fisheries Management Plan prior 
to fishing.  A copy of the IFMP may be obtained by emailing a request to:

The collection of data required for stock assessment will be obtained through 
industry-funded trawl surveys. As surveys may occur at any time, quotas set 
within this plan are subject to in-season adjustment based on new survey 
results.

Quotas for the individual harvest sites are outlined in the IFMP or announced 
by Fishery Notice. Harvest sites will be closed as quotas are achieved in-
season.

To monitor and track quotas, all licence eligibility holders must make 
arrangements to participate in an industry-funded catch monitoring and hail 
program.

Licence holders are responsible for ensuring they accurately complete and 
submit harvest logbooks as outlined in their licence conditions.

Harvesting is prohibited in all Sanitary Contamination closures.  Check for 
sanitary closures within portions of the management quota areas listed above 
prior to each day's harvesting. 

Harvesters are responsible for checking Fishery Notices for the Bivalve 
Shellfish Marine Biotoxin Updates prior to each day's harvesting, as 
recommended by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and issued by DFO.
