PEI Tuna update - November 1st, 2018:   

Following the DFO Tuna conference call today (November 1^st), it is not anticipated that any more tuna tags will be released as it is felt that there are sufficient tags released previously to attain the goal of at least 90% of the quota caught.  A minimum of 90% is needed to automatically roll over remaining quota to the 2019 PEI quota.   Currently, PEI has landed 73.4% of their allocated quota.  There will be another DFO conference call with the Tuna Advisory Committee on Tuesday, November 6^thto re-evaluate the landings and ensure the landings goal will be reached.  Landings information was posted to the website/facebook yesterday (see previous post).  At present with the PEI fleet , 135 canadian tags and 29 Mexican tags that were previously issued have yet to be landed.  For more information, please contact DFO Resource Manager, Ben Moore at 902-370-7094.
