Stewardship Cod Fishery Opening in NAFO Division 2J

DFO reminds harvesters that the Stewardship Cod Fishery in NAFO division 2J will open on Sunday August 4, 2019 at 06:00 hours to vessel class A292.

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.
