Audit shows DFO assigned less than a 6th of B.C.’s salmon stocks a status
Oceana Canada’s annual Fisheries Audit found that Fisheries and Oceans Canada is not doing an adequate job rebuilding Canada’s fisheries.
The new Fisheries Act passed in April 2022 legally requires the DFO to rebuild Canada’s critical fish populations to support fisheries, coastal communities and the ocean. However, 37 per cent of stocks have not been assigned a health status, which means there is no legal requirement to rebuild them.In B.C., less than one-sixth of salmon populations have a stock status under the Wild Salmon Policy that Canada introduced in 2005.
The status of most salmon populations is unknown and for those that do have enough data, few are considered healthy, the audit report states.
