DFO advises that as of Wednesday, September 18, landings for the 2024 Northern cod inshore 2J-based allocation have reached approximately 2,880 t (96%) of the amount allocated (3,014 t).

The Department will continue to closely monitor this fishery to ensure that the total harvest for the 2J-based allocation remains within the allocated amount. As per the Conservation Harvesting Plan (CHP), the fishery for the 2J-based fleet will close should landings approach the allocated amount prior to the end of the scheduled season.

Based on current activity, the amount allocated for the 2J-based fleet is anticipated to be reached early next week. The closure date will  be communicated in advance via a Notice to Fisher Harvesters.

"Notices to Fish Harvesters" for all commercial fisheries are now available online under the Fishery Notices link on the DFO NL Region webpage at Newfoundland and Labrador Region

If you would like to have all "Notices to Fish Harvesters" or "Notices to the Public" sent directly to you by email please contact Miranda.Pryor@dfo-mpo.gc.ca
