2018 Recreational Scallop Bag and Possession Limits


DFO reminds Recreational Scallop licence holders that the authorized daily bag (harvest) limit for the 2018 season is 50 Scallop per day, and the possession limit is 100 Scallop.

DFO advises licence holders that fishing licences for 2018 are not yet available and those who wish to fish during the first weeks of January 2018 must first have their 2017 fishing licences manually amended by a DFO Fishery Officer or a Licensing Officer to extend their licence into 2018. Fish harvesters are advised to present their 2017 licence to any Fishery Officer or any Licensing Officer before the start of any fishing trip in 2018 and they will amend the licence end date. This will allow harvesters to continue fishing while they are awaiting their 2018 licence through the National Online Licensing System (NOLS).
