The Department of Fisheries
and Oceans has brought the daily quota for sockeye salmon in Barkley Sound
and Alberni Inlet from four to zero.
This move was promtped by a low preseason forecast of 210,000 fish.
"At this run size there is no allocation available to the recreational or commercial fisheries," states a release.
Clayoquot
Sound is not similarly affected,
but the areas off the coast of 121, 123 and 127 are. For more information
