DFO will be issuing a Notice to Fish Harvesters later today on a decision made today in consultation with the Groundfish Advisory board via conference call.  There will be a change in date for the opening of the Halibut fishery for PEI fleet to August 23rd, 2011. 

There has also been a DFO decision made on the reconcilliation process.  With this said, the Advisory Board agreed to take the 2010 overrun (approx 8T) and spread over 3 years.  Thus the new quota for PEI Halibut is 31.06T.  

Lastly, Miscou box coordinates will be open for the PEI fleet - Halibut fishery.
