Fishers are advised that the industry funded hail and dockside validation 
program initiated in 1997 will be in effect for the 2019 season, the details of 
this program are described in the commercial fishing plan. A Nil report must be 
submitted to the DFO Shellfish Data Unit for licence renewal for 2018 even if 
no fishing had occurred.     

Fishers are reminded the pre-licence application requirement will be continued 
for 2019. All licence applications for a Z-F category licence must be 
accompanied by a letter from the Krill Trawlers Association (KTA) or their 
designate, certifying that arrangements have been made with a DFO Observer or 
service bureau, to provide services required by the 2019 Conditions of Licence. 
Alternately, licence holders choosing a service bureau independent of the KTA 
will require a letter identifying the service bureau they have hired, and 
confirming that they can meet the 2019 conditions of licence through this 
arrangement.
