Temporary adjustment to ASO coverage requirements in the Unit 1 Redfish fishery east of 59°W
Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) is informing of a temporary adjustment to the at-sea observer (ASO) coverage requirements for the Unit 1 redfish fishery east of 59°W.
From November 2, 2026, until December 31, 2026, the ASO coverage requirement east of 59°W will be reduced from 100 percent to 50 percent coverage. This temporary measure applies only to fishing east of 59°W.
