Variation order 2023-011 for Greenland Halibut in Subarea 0
December 22, 2023
Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Arctic Region advises that a close time for the Greenland Halibut fishery in Division 0A, for vessel classes D200 to D203 and B8 has been modified to reflect a close date of November 11. The previous variation order issued a five day extension to November 16, 2023 and was only in effect for the 2023 fishing season. All other close times remain unvaried.
For greater clarity, the Arctic Region GHL Subarea 0 Close Time Variation Order, 2023-010 which came into force on Nov 11th, 2023 will be revoked when the new variation order Arctic Region GHL Subarea 0 Close Time Variation Order, 2023-011 comes into force December 31, 2023 and remains in force until otherwise revoked (see Schedule XXIII Column IV).
