enforced. Fish harvesters are advised to contact their band for a copy of the 
conditions of their fishing licence.  


Notes:

The target species in this fishery is chum salmon. Retention of hatchery marked 
coho salmon caught incidentally is permitted.  There will be non-retention of 
chinook, sockeye, pink, wild coho salmon, steelhead and sturgeon. Opportunities 
to harvest chum salmon will be constrained by management objectives for 
Interior Fraser steelhead which is a stock of concern presently co-migrating in 
the Fraser River.  All non-target species will be released back to the water 
alive and unharmed.

It is mandatory that all salmon retained under the authority of this licence be 
transported to the nearest landing station and made available for inspection.  
A monitor shall be present during all landing of catch to record the number and 
weight of each species of salmon delivered.
