Fishery Notice
Category(s): RECREATIONAL - Salmon
Subject: FN0619-Amendment to FN0618 - Non-retention of sockeye salmon in most Southern BC marine waters
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The closing time indicated in Fishery Notice 0618 was incorrect. It has been
amended below. All other aspects of the notice remain the same.
Effective 23:59 hours Saturday, August 27, 2005 and until further notice, the
daily limit for sport-caught sockeye in those South Coast waters that are
currently open to sockeye retention is varied to zero. These waters include
Areas 11 to 15, 17 to 21, 24 to 29, 111, 121 and 123 to 127 with the exception
of Area 23 (Barkley Sound) which remains open to sockeye retention.
Note that the following areas are currently closed to sockeye retention:
The tidal and non-tidal waters of the Fraser River.
The Fraser River mouth (Subareas 29-3, 29-4 and 29-6 to 29-17).
Area 16 (Sabine Channel, Malaspina Strait, Jervis Inlet and Sechelt Inlet
areas).
This measure is required in order to limit the harvest of the Late Run
component of the Fraser River sockeye return to the 15 percent harvest rate
objective for this stock group. There is currently no available harvest of
Late Run sockeye for commercial and recreational fisheries. Further
recreational sockeye retention opportunities are not anticipated.
The next update regarding the status of Fraser River sockeye stocks will be
Friday, August 26 following the next Fraser River Panel meeting.
Variation Order 2005-365.
