Recreational Groundfish Fishery Catch Reporting for the Newfoundland and Labrador Region

Recreational fishers are encouraged to report their groundfish catch, including fish size, to Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) Science by completing the form which is available online at the following website: https://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fisheries-peches/recreational-recreative/nfl-rec-eng.asp.

The harvest data collected will provide DFO Science with valuable information about size and abundance of groundfish removals. This information will be used to inform the Department’s groundfish Science group about the total recreational harvest. The Department appreciates the public’s support in providing this data.

For further information about the recreational groundfish fishery reporting, please contact Hilary Rockwood via email at: Hilary.Rockwood@dfo-mpo.gc.ca
