In order to prevent an early closure of the herring fishery in Area 16B, we have convinced DFO to proceed with its acoustic surveys while keeping the fishery open.
DFO therefore requests that no fisherman fish for herring in the fishing territories listed below on the dates indicated.
The three dates below are the start of DFO's work. Other dates will be added. We will inform you as soon as we know them.
