Canada proposes pilot project for Maritimes elver fishery 
CA Source: undercurrentnews 10/16/2024

Licensed elver fishermen in Atlantic Canada have been told the Canadian government will take up to 75% of their quotas in 2025 without compensation for redistribution, SaltWire News reports.

The commercial fishermen who harvest juvenile American eels from rivers in the Maritime provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick received a letter from Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) on Tuesday (Oct. 15) detailing a proposed pilot project that would begin with the spring elver run in 2025 and possibly continue until 2027.
 

"Quota redistribution for pilot participants is proposed without fishing pressure on the stock, and redistribution would not be accompanied by financial assistance or compensation to existing license holders," reads the DFO letter, which was obtained by SaltWire.
