Vol. 391 No. 7

Written Answers. - Salmon Fishing Nets.

50.

asked the Minister for the Marine if he will change present regulations to allow the use of a limited amount of monofilament net for salmon fishing by licensed drift-net fishermen.

This is a very complex issue which requires careful consideration. I will be examining the matter with a view to ensuring the best possible balance between the needs of conservation, efficiency, economy and the resources necessary to discharge our national and international obligations in regard to salmon fishery.
