'Request for Re-Allocation of Trap Limits Prawn & Shrimp by Trap Fishery 2018' 
application forms have been sent by email to all licence eligibility holders or 
may be requested by email from fishing-peche@dfo-mpo.gc.ca

Requests to re-allocate traps must be made using the National Online Licensing 
System (NOLS) https://fishing-peche.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/. Application must be 
received from the NOLS account of the Licence Holder re-allocating Traps - No 
Exceptions. Please note that completed application forms must be digitally 
attached by scanning and uploading an Adobe pdf, or photo extensions jpg, jpeg,

Attention Communal Commercial Licence (FW) Holders that are re-allocating or 
receiving traps: You will be required to designate the eligible vessel on the 
application form. Vessel must be registered as a Canadian commercial fishing 
vessel, and may not exceed the Maximum Vessel Length (MVL) of the licence 
eligibility.

under the 'Request Status' of your request by logging into your NOLS account.  

Note:  When traps are re-allocated, 100 are relinquished and the receiving 
vessel may fish a maximum of 500 traps. Trap allocations revert to original 
licence eligibilities at the end of the season. Traps may be re-allocated to 
but not from owner/operator "grandfathered" restricted licence eligibilities.
