If someone doesn't beat me to it, I'll post up some email address where people can voice their concerns, pictures included.Ī further plunder of OUR resources. Please keep them posted in the photobucket account so others can see them, and forward the link to the government with their complaint/request for a change to this law. Thanks for taking them, and sharing them. WildCats, those pictures are invaluable in closing this loophole to abuse. All that needs to be done to stop this is to have SRD request parliament to amend section 57- 2-a. To clarify, Burbot are lagally listed as a game fish, but this section of the Fisheries Act allows this to happen. (e) fish kept under a fish culture licence. (c) the disposal of fish at the direction of a fishery officer, Licence unless specified otherwise in conditions attached (b) fish caught or held under the authority of a research With amendments up to and including Alberta Regulation 288/2009ĥ7(1) No person who is in possession of a game fish shall allow itsĮdible flesh to be wasted, destroyed, spoiled or abandoned. This link is to the Queen's Printer, this is the Act that must be amended to stop this from being legal. No point having two threads on this, and these pictures say it best. You can take them home or leave them on the ice, but don't kill more than the quota!!! We figured there was roughly 500 plus Burbot laying on the ice. You, me and everybody else can go out and kill the limit for burbot on Pigeon which is ten fish ( "0" retention after Feb.1 I might add ). Here's where it gets interesting although they are not classed as a gamefish, quota's are still in place. There is no market for Burbot so Commercial fisherman are not obligated to salvage them. Commercial fishing is going on slave till mid April and this is occuring every day. Apparently Burbot are "not" gamefish and can be wasted. I wrote down the numbers and took photos and called Fish and Wildlife later in the day.
There was several nets set and this was the scene at each one of them. Found this at Slave Lake yesterday on the point at Assineau.
