DFO reminds harvesters that the Stewardship Cod Fishery in NAFO divisions 3KL will open on Sunday August 9, 2020 at 06:00 hours to vessel classes A295 and A283.

Fish Harvesters are advised that licence conditions are available on the National Online Licencing System (NOLS).

Harvesters are reminded that they are to ensure that weekly landing limits are not exceeded by setting only the amount of fishing gear that is necessary to catch the weekly limits. This is particularly important at the start of the season when fish abundance levels are unknown.
