A total of 190 Island fishers registered for the halibut reallocation fishery Sept. 26 to 28.
That resulted in a draw for the 54 positions available. The winners will be contacted by DFO to ensure they’re eligible and any fisher ineligible or otherwise unable to participate in the fishery will forfeit their spot to a name on the list of alternates.
Individual allocation limits remain at 182 kg per fisher, hooks in the water from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. only, maximum of 300 hooks.
A new license condition in concern for the North Atlantic Right whale that notes, “When fishing in water depths greater than 20 fathoms, all fishing gear shall be closely tended at all times.”
