Snow Crab IQ Calculation Problems in 3L and 3Ps
April 9, 2019

A number of snow crab harvesters in 3Ps and 3L have yet to receive their license conditions as a result of calculation issues with IQs.

Due to the lateness of the management plan these issues were not rectified prior to the season opening. FFAW-Unifor is aware of the issue and we are working closely with DFO to find a solution and ensure all harvesters receive their license conditions in a timely manner.

Updates will be provided when available.
