Federal Fishery Officers /www. dfo-mpo.gc.ca

“In August Officers were deployed from Terrace to assist the Fraser River staff

with the commercial gilinet protest fishery, and also sent to the Queen Charlotte Islands to patrol the southeastern side of the Islands. Officers stayed aboard the 29 meter Canadian Coast Guard vessel the Arrow Post for five days. The patrol was in part to protect abalone during low tide periods, and to patrol the rockfish protected areas. —

Remember when fishing for crabs make sure the traps are marked with the fishers name and phone number. Ensure that all crabs under the legal size limit of 165 mm are released back into the water immediately. The 165 mm size limit ‘is set to allow the crab to spawn at least once before being harvested. It is requested that fishers release all female crabs that are over the legal size limit.

In September Officers have been active with the Coho fishery. Catches in the Kitimat area and the Douglas Channel have been good. Coho returning to the Skeena system seem to be arriving in numbers in the last week. ‘Officers have been patrolling in helicopters as well as counting fish in the local streams. Patrols have also been done by all terrain vehicles. Remember if you are operating an ‘all terrain vehicle (ATV) stay away from the wetted areas of streams. Stream banks are also susceptible to disruption and bank instability caused by this type of vehicle. Officers will be attempting to deal with this growing fish habitat problem by engaging the user group, and to come up with solutions that are workable, There are appropriate habitat Sections of the Fishery Act that would allow Officers to deal with this type of violation.
