CHANGE IN SEASON OPENING DATE
2012 ROCK CRAB FISHERY IN LOBSTER FISHING AREA 25

Moncton – This is further to the Notice to Fish Harvesters issued on June 22, 2012. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), Gulf Region, wishes to advise the industry that the opening of the fall fishery for Rock Crab in Lobster Fishing Area (LFA) 25 has been changed to 7:00 a.m. on October 20 and will close on November 30. These dates are in keeping with the practice of opening the rock crab fishing season five calendar days after the closure of the fall lobster fishery. The opening date for the rock crab fishery has been changed following modifications in 2012 to the dates for the lobster fishery.

As a variation order to modify the season dates for the rock crab fishery will be issued, no changes are required to licence conditions.
