For blackback, they limited us to going to what we call Offer Gooseberry Island. |
What I gathered was that a fair bit of cod was caught in the blackback fishery. |
The actual cod grounds are not handy to where you put your blackback nets, and we're still finding cod there. |
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. |
Why use five-and-a-half-inch gear if you can't sell the blackback that's in it? |
Certainly they have the blackback fishery, which turned out to be a cod fishery, and whether it was designed that way we can argue. |
