DFO has announced the 2012 Fisheries Plan for Cod in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence.  This Notice to Fish Harvesters includes the following:

"With respect to the Southern Gulf cod (4TVn), and as is the case since 2009, there will be no directed commercial cod fishery.  A 300T allocation is identified to cover catches for scientific purposes, by-catches of cod in other groundfish fisheries, negotiated Aboriginal food, social and ceremonial agreements, and a limited recreational fishery."
