DFO advises harvesters that the Stewardship Cod Fishery in NAFO divisions 2J3KL will open on Sunday July 23, 2023 at 06:00 hours to vessel classes A283, A292, and A295.
Fish Harvesters are advised that license conditions will be available soon on the National Online Licensing System (NOLS).
Harvesters are reminded that they are to ensure that landing limits are not exceeded by setting only the amount of fishing gear that is necessary to catch the weekly or bi-weekly limits. This is particularly important at the start of the season when fish abundance levels are unknown.
