silver hake

Without chartering, there might be no Canadian silver hake fishery.

Silver hake are located on or immediately above the bottom during the day and off bottom at night.

For 1991 much of the foreign fishery was managed under domestic silver hake allocations.

Silver hake can be harvested all year, but the principal season is June through November.

• proponents would have or propose a significant investment in the processing of silver hake.

Following the review of proposals received, silver hake quotas have been allocated to four Canadian companies.

However, about 80% of the silver hake and herring eaten were of commercial size.

Silver hake feed at night from just after dark until predawn, but mostly between dusk and midnight.

Proposals in developing the Canadian silver hake fishery must be submitted to:

There is also a small-mesh trawl fishery for silver hake in 4W (within specified areas).

The silver hake is a long, thin species with a protruding lower jaw and two dorsal fins.

Through the use of this chartering, it is more economically viable for Canada to pursue the silver hake fishery under current market conditions.

As stated previously, in the case of silver hake, Canadians had their largest catch in history in 1997.

Active participants in the 1995 silver hake program who complied with the program criteria will have their allocation rolled over for 1996.

Juvenile fish (e.g., silver hake, haddock) move to deeper waters.

The Panel also provided a number of additional recommendations designed to encourage canadianization of the silver hake fishery.

"I am pleased by the large increase of interest in harvesting silver hake," Mr. Mifflin said.

Successful recipients of a silver hake allocation under the developmental fishery will be notified as soon as possible thereafter.

Developmental program participants chartering foreign vessels will be required to land 15 per cent of the silver hake catch for processing at Canadian plants.

In fact, Canadians still leave large parts of their quotas in the water every year -- for example silver hake and squid.

Density-dependent growth of silver hakes.

This sharing arrangement will be reviewed when the silver hake TAC exceeds 25,000t.

"We are announcing these allocations earlier than in previous years so that the silver hake fishery can get under way," said Mr. Tobin.

By-catch reductions are also achieved through use of the Nordmore Grate for the silver hake fishery.
