Oceana Canada Urges Caution on DFOs Phased Approach to Re-opening Redfish Fishery 
By Vaishali Dassani CA Source: Oceana Canada 2/2/2024

Redfish have made a remarkable comeback since 2011 and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) recently announced an end to the commercial redfish moratorium in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in place since 1995. Today DFO indicated a phased approach, beginning with a 25,000-tonne minimum quota for the 2024 fishing season. However, many critical questions about the management and monitoring of this fishery remain unanswered and must be resolved before the fishery opens. Below is Oceana Canada’s response from Fishery Scientist Rebecca Schijns:
 

“Oceana Canada urges Fisheries Minister Lebouthillier and DFO to take a cautious approach. We call on the Canadian government to develop a redfish management plan to prevent the same overfishing that led to its collapse 30 years ago. It must include rigorous monitoring requirements in line with DFO’s Fishery Monitoring Policy.
