Canada proposes 62 fish stocks for sustainability protection

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has proposed adding 62 stocks to a regulatory list that binds the minister to rebuild them if they become depleted.

Regulations that went into effect earlier this year as part of the Fisheries Act created a list of so-called prescribed fish stocks.

In April the first batch of 30 was added.

On Oct. 19 the department released a second batch of 62 stocks for public consultation. Comments close Dec. 19.

Most stocks in the second batch are considered healthy, but candidates also include three stocks in trouble: cod and herring off southern Nova Scotia and yellowtail flounder in the Gulf of St Lawrence.
