The Government of Nunavut welcomes news that the Total Allowable Catch for Greenland Halibut (turbot) in Division 0A, off the northeast coast of Baffin Island, has been increased from 6,500 tonnes to 8,000 tonnes for 2014. The 1,500 tonne increase will be given entirely to Nunavut fishers. “We are extremely pleased that the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) has provided Nunavut with 100 per cent of the turbot increase in Division 0A,” said the Honorable James Arreak, Minister of Environment. “This is a substantial increase and Nunavut will continue to benefit from this important and nearby resource.”
