Ottawa to close about 60 per cent of commercial salmon fisheries to conserve stocks

Fisheries Minister Bernadette Jordan said these closures will reduce immediate pressure on fragile stocks that have drastically declined. We re seeing a decline in the stock runs, in some cases up to 90 per cent, she said in an interview. And, you know, we need to do everything we can to conserve the species. The government s announcement follows plans for the distribution of nearly $650 million earmarked for the Pacific Salmon Strategy Initiative. The plan will guide work on conservation, better hatchery production, an overhaul of fish harvesting methods and improve the collaboration of fisheries management. The closures are intended to increase the number of salmon reaching spawning areas, specifically sockeye, pink and chum stocks.

Ottawa to close 60 per cent of commercial salmon fisheries to conserve stocks  June 29, 2021 39 views VANCOUVER -The federal government says it will close several commercial Pacific salmon fisheries in British Columbia and Yukon beginning this season to conserve fish stocks that are on the “verge of collapse.” In a news release, the Fisheries Department says 60 per cent of commercial and First Nations communal fisheries will be affected. The department says it will transition to smaller commercial harvests, adding that will help some of the most fragile stocks. It says the declines in fish stocks are because of a “complex combination” of factors, including climate change and habitat degradation.
