There are industry test vessels and the DFO charter vessel the Denman Isle 
assessing stocks and sampling in the Strait of Georgia this morning.
There have been three test sets this morning in Baynes Sound, which ranged from 
8.5% to 10.5%. When the fish are acceptable and also if there is a request to 
open the area, DFO will contact all the pool captains prior to opening the 
area. The area would open once the setting boats for each pool have been 
verified. There will be a seine pool captains meeting in Deep Bay this 
afternoon to discuss fishery set up and assessment options. 

There was a spawn flight today form Nanaimo to Little River, no spawn was 
observed.
