TENDER OPPORTUNITY -

🎣 ATTENTION MFN FISHERS 🎣

In partnership with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), Miawpukek Natural Resources has observed an increase in rainbow trout being caught throughout the Bay d'Espoir area, including at the Conne Brook counting fence. There appears to have been a significant escape of rainbow trout within the region, and monitoring efforts are now underway.

If you catch a rainbow trout, our Guardians would appreciate the opportunity to:

✔️ Measure and weigh the fish
✔️ Collect scale and tissue samples
✔️ Determine the age and sex of the fish
✔️ Clean your catch if requested

The information gathered will help assess:
• The estimated number of fish that may have escaped
• Size variations within the population
• Age and sex distribution
• The possible presence of therapeutants or diseases

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated and will assist in this important monitoring effort. If you do not wish to have your catch sampled, simply let our Guardians know.

For more information, please contact the Natural Resources Department at 709-882-3001.

Thank you for supporting local conservation, research, and stewardship efforts.
