•DFO says commercial elver fishers won’t be compensated under new quota plan | Globalnews.ca
73% Informative
A federal proposal would redistribute the overall quota for catching baby eels to individual fishers.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada says it will not compensate commercial licence-holders who employ those workers.
The proposal is designed to combat unlicensed fishing and violent confrontations that shut down the last two seasons .
The Fisheries Council of Canada has expressed “strong concerns” about the proposed pilot project.
China is the dominant market for elvers, and some buyers will both under-pay on the black market and overpay for licensed catches.
Commercial groups fear individual fishers will sell to the highest bidder rather than resist the encroachment of bad actors.
Smaller quotas will also mean lower salaries than what large companies have been able to pay those same workers.
