MOLLUSCAN SHELLFISH OPENED IN THE BAIE DES CHALEURS
TRACADIE-SHEILA - The Department of Fisheries and Oceans
(DFO), Eastern New Brunswick area office in Tracadie-Sheila, N.B.,
today announced that the portion of the Baie des Chaleurs starting
from Belloni Point, near Bathurst, and continuing along the shore
line to Maisonnette Point, is now open to the harvesting of bivalve
molluscs. This area was closed last June 27 due to levels of toxins
in bivalve molluscs exceeding federal standards.
For a description of the grid references or for more information
on the above, please contact your local fishery officer.
