Public Notice: Closure of all Nisga'a Individual Sale Fisheries for 2012
Public Notice
Closure of all Nisga’a Individual Sale
Fisheries for 2012
The in-season Total Return to Canada (TRTC) estimate for Nass Sockeye
is currently projected at 417,000 (range between 404,000 and 459,000)
based on a mean run timing estimate of 95% to Area 3. Based on the
current TRTC projection, the in-season Nisga’a entitlement would be
~71,000 (range between 69,000 and 81,000).
Considering the harvests of Nass Sockeye to date by all fisheries
(~69,000) and the uncertainty in final post-season TRTC and Nisga’a
entitlement estimates, the Individual Sale (marine and in-river)
fisheries are CLOSED to Nass Sockeye for the remainder of 2012.
THE FOOD FISHERY REMAINS OPEN
