Fishery Notice

In-season activity and catch reporting is a mandatory requirement under the 
Area F Conditions of Licence.  This information is important for in-season 
management of the fishery.  Furthermore, Fisheries and Oceans Canada has 
identified improved catch monitoring as a fundamental priority for fisheries 
management. Failure to comply with Area F Conditions of Licence, in particular 
those sections specific to activity and catch monitoring will be a priority for 
enforcement action.
