They are also important for local food consumption and culture including the annual capelin roll spectacle.”

Key Points: 
  • They are also important for local food consumption and culture including the annual capelin roll spectacle.”
    Connection to Cod: The economic viability of a future cod fishery depends on recovering capelin as a source of food.
  • In DFO’s recent northern cod science assessment, the availability of capelin was identified as the single biggest factor impeding its recovery.
  • Northern cod and capelin populations have stabilized at low levels since 2017, meaning that more capelin is needed for cod to grow.
  • By restoring Canada’s oceans, we can strengthen our communities, reap greater economic and nutritional benefits and protect our future.

The situation is becoming more urgent because of accelerating climate change and biodiversity loss.

Key Points: 
  • The situation is becoming more urgent because of accelerating climate change and biodiversity loss.
  • Now, the Canadian government has an opportunity to demonstrate how to successfully re-open a previously collapsed fishery and provide benefits now and for generations to come.
  • The Minister of Fisheries and Oceans faces many fisheries management decisions in the coming months which could help set Canada’s fisheries on a path to recovery and abundance.
  • By restoring Canada’s oceans, we can strengthen our communities, reap greater economic and nutritional benefits, and protect our future.

VANCOUVER, unceded and traditional homelands of the Musqueam and the Squamish, Nov. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In the face of accelerating climate change, Oceana Canada's 2023 Fishery Audit, launched today on World Fisheries Day, exposes Canada's persistent mismanagement and failure to rebuild depleted populations, harming marine life, coastal communities, the seafood economy and our planet.

Key Points: 
  • DFO is yet to revise the suite of policies under the Sustainable Fisheries Framework to meaningfully include Indigenous Knowledge Systems in fisheries management.
  • “This failure to address Canada's fisheries crisis has dire implications for our oceans, fishing communities and the planet.
  • Account for climate change effects on marine ecosystems by implementing climate-adaptive approaches in fisheries management and prioritizing rebuilding depleted forage fish.
  • By restoring Canada’s oceans, we can strengthen our communities, reap greater economic and nutritional benefits and protect our future.

However, this vital connection to the ocean continues to be threatened by mismanagement and overfishing.

Key Points: 
  • However, this vital connection to the ocean continues to be threatened by mismanagement and overfishing.
  • Last year, the government’s decision to maintain a harvest quota of 14,533 tonnes followed a decades-long pattern of overfishing.
  • The 2J3KL capelin population has been critically depleted for more than 30 years and is at just seven per cent of its pre-collapse level.
  • Oceana Canada was established as an independent charity in 2015 and is part of the largest international advocacy group dedicated solely to ocean conservation.

Heavy fishing pressure on this collapsed population causes harm to the ecosystem and contributes to a poor outlook for the future of this fishery.

Key Points: 
  • Heavy fishing pressure on this collapsed population causes harm to the ecosystem and contributes to a poor outlook for the future of this fishery.
  • Oceana Canada is calling on DFO to close the fishery until it can demonstrate the population is growing out of the critical zone.
  • Future harvest levels, once the population recovers, must take into consideration the essential contributions capelin play as prey for other species, including critically depleted northern cod.
  • The 2021 quota was still higher than this critically depleted population can withstand, preventing population recovery.

Closing the fishery for now, until this precautionary approach can be applied, is an essential first step in allowing capelin populations to recover.

Key Points: 
  • Closing the fishery for now, until this precautionary approach can be applied, is an essential first step in allowing capelin populations to recover.
  • Capelin are maturing at younger ages while older capelin (ages 4-6) are disappearing from the fishery.
  • Capelin distribution has protracted to the south, leaving less capelin for species off Labrador such as char, turbot, and cod.
  • Recent levels of capelin consumption by fish predators, capelin distribution, growth rates, and maturation rates are consistent with patterns of low capelin abundance.

Northern cods high quota is further damaging to the population because it ignores the amount caught in Newfoundlands recreational fishery.

Key Points: 
  • Northern cods high quota is further damaging to the population because it ignores the amount caught in Newfoundlands recreational fishery.
  • DFO has still not completed a rebuilding plan for northern cod, nearly three decades after it first collapsed.
  • This decision fails to correct the harmful trajectory DFO set out on last year.
  • Earlier this year, DFO allowed a nearly 20,000 tonne quota for seriously depleted northern capelin a key food source for northern cod.
