FN1178-In-season Allocation of Pacific Gulf Hake Quota


Groundfish Trawl licence holders and harvesters are advised that DFO has approved an additional 3,000 tonnes of Pacific Gulf Hake quota be allocated in-season to the Groundfish Trawl fishery, increasing the total allowable catch (TAC) to 10,000 tonnes for the 2025/26 Groundfish season.  

Fees for this additional Gulf Hake quota have been calculated for each eligible groundfish trawl licence based on the permanent individual vessel quota percentage (%) of Gulf Hake held on a licence as of November 3, 2025. Payment of fees can now be made through the National Online Licensing System (NOLS).

Once fees have been paid, the Groundfish Management Unit (GMU) will issue a licence amendment reflecting the revised Gulf Hake IVQ and CCQ for that licensed vessel. 

For more information, please contact Lindsay Richardson-Deranger at 604-345-4731, Anna Khan or Annie Hsu at 604-666-0010.
