DFO advises that the Unit I Redfish index fishery in NAFO Division 4R closed on Friday, July 6, 2018 at 1200 hours, for Newfoundland and Labrador based inshore (< 65 feet) mobile gear fleets.

This closure is a result of small fish protocols being exceeded.

Small fish closures will be for a minimum of 10 consecutive days and may reopen following a successful industry funded test fishery.
