| The government opened a blackback season obviously so they could have a sentinel fishery on cod this year. |
| For example, on the blackback fishery this year, DFO decided to change the mesh size to five and a half inches from six and a half inches. |
| By-catch remains an issue in inshore gillnet fisheries for lumpfish and blackback flounder off eastern Newfoundland. |
| Why use five-and-a-half-inch gear if you can't sell the blackback that's in it? |
| I firmly believe that had we not had a protest, the fishermen would not have gottena blackback catch. |
| What I gathered was that a fair bit of cod was caught in the blackback fishery. |
