Fishery Notice

Effective immediately, Subarea 7-15 is closed to the commercial harvest of all 
bivalve shellfish.  This closure is due to a lapse in sample submissions for 
the marine biotoxin monitoring program. 

The Heiltsuk commercial intertidal clam fishery is continuing in other portions 
of Area 7.  Please contact Steven Groves or the Heiltsuk Integrated Resource 
Management Division for more information. 

Fish harvesters are advised that there are contaminated closures in the 
vicinity. Information on specific closure areas is available on the internet 
at:  http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/contamination/index-eng.htm

Fish harvesters are also reminded to check for the most recent information 
regarding any biotoxin closures in the area by calling the toll-free 
information number at 1-866-431-3474.
