Fishing regulation question

[Sundancefisher]

I did read the regs online but could not find this answer.

I am going salmon fishing with friends in the ocean. I like to eat salmon eggs and my friends dont. Can I take all their roe home with me or is their some rule?

If I can't have it...they will all just go into the garbage.

Once you catch the salmon, all of it is yours to do with as you see fit.

I know I can keep my own...but can I keep my buddies?

I know there use to be a reg for how much roe you could have in your possession this came up with a dfo officer while bar fishing one time too
but I cant seem to find that now, it even applied to cured roe as well, I believe it was only a couple pounds? I cant be sure but there is a reg for it somewhere, maybe call dfo

Pretty sure if you buddies give you their share that's fine but they need to write a letter staring so. Date, lic number ect. That used to be the way a while back.

I can't find roe limits.... I am pretty sure it used to be 1kg or 2.2pounds

Keep the roe, eat or use it for bait there are NO restrictions. Please do not burp when I,m around. Good luck.

The BC freshwater regulations (pg 9) say that you are only allowed to be in possession of 1 kg of roe for use as bait unless you are in possession of the fish it came from, or commercially bought with receipt. I cannot find anything for tidal waters though so you should be OK, but it may be smart to call.
