NOTICE TO FISH HARVESTERS

3Ps Cod Fishery
DFO wishes to advise harvesters that the Department is closely monitoring landings from the directed 3Ps cod fishery. Landings of 3Ps cod up to and including Sunday, July 19, 2020, include a total of 530t by the less than 35' fixed-gear fleet - Area 10 (85 per cent of its fleet allocation) and 116t by the less than 35' fixed-gear feet - Area 11 (22 per cent of its fleet allocation).
This fishery may close to the individual inshore fixed-gear fleets once they reach their respective fleet allocations. Depending on the level of fishing activity and catch rates, the less than 35' fixed-gear fleet - Area 10 may reach its allocation before the end of July. The Department will continue to closely monitor landings to assess the need for closures. If a decision to close the directed 3Ps cod fishery to a fleet is required, the decision will be communicated in advance via a Notice to Fishers.
