An agreement has been reached between Canada and Mexico for the transfer of part of the Mexican bluefin tuna quota. For Canada, this represents an additional 60 tons to be fished. For our fleet, this represents 4,686 tons.
This new allocation will be divided according to the number of tags for each licensee.
The cost to fishermen will be $1.00/lb.
You can contact our Tracadie and Shediac offices now to make payment for your tags. DFO will then send them to you by mail.
