FN1070-COMMERCIAL - Salmon: Gill Net - Chum - Area D - Area 14 - Mid-Vancouver Island - Demonstration Fishery Update
Further to FN1015, a 10 vessel Area D Demonstration fishery was proposed to occur on October 18 to 20 and October 26 to 28 in portions of Area 14. Due to combined low Chum returns in the Puntledge, Big Qualicum and Little Qualicum Rivers, the October 18 to 20 Chum fishery has been cancelled to allow for more Chum escapement into the systems. DFO will continue to monitor the Chum returns in these rivers and make an announcement on October 23 if the next demonstration fishery will occur. If the assessment fishery does go ahead next week, then DFO will contact the successful applicants as outlined in FN1057 for their interest in participating in the fishery. The next announcement will be Wednesday October 23, 2019 FOR MORE INFORMATION: Kent Spencer, Resource Manager, Campbell River (250)286-5885
