This year’s audit concluded that 17 per cent of Canada’s fish stocks are critically depleted, up from 13.4 per cent in 2018

ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — An annual audit of Canada’s fisheries has flagged a decline in the number of healthy fish stocks over the last two years and warned they will continue to suffer without more specific government action.

. Fisheries in what the group calls the cautious or critical zones outnumbered the 29.4 per cent of stocks considered healthy.The urgency is only getting greater The report cited some progress, including an increase in scientific publications assessing fish stock health and greater transparency of fishery monitoring.

Several invertebrates went from a healthy status to a “cautious” designation, including Northern shrimp, pink shrimp and sidestripe shrimp in B.C. Three other Pacific shrimp stocks and Scotian Shelf snow crab were classified as critically depleted this year, bringing the total number of critically depleted crustacean stocks to seven, as opposed to just one in 2017.

And as this is posted, the feds continue cut fish enhancement programs on the west coast. Shame on Trudeau and The NDP.

This headline though accurate to what the report says, is a little misleading. The group taking the data couldn’t get data on 40% of fish stocks. The scientists keep going to the same areas and taking measurements. Wildlife move and change their patterns. Nature changes man 😎
