Buying
Gooseneck
barnacles are now available for purchase as part of the experimental
fishery.
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has a currernt policy that 'new' fisheries will be cost neutral to government and will have a high degree of on-site and dockside monitoring. The percebes fishery is not currently operating due to insufficient market volume to cover the costs of monitoring and managing the fishery, and doing the marketing required to expand it.
If you are interested in purchasing percebes, please write us with an approximate volume that you may require. This will help us assess whether there is sufficient interest to re-open the fishery. If you are interested in investing in the fishery to expand its market, please also contact us.
