The NWMB is responsible for allocating turbot and
shrimp quotas inside the NSA and to Nunavut fishers fishing in marine
Zones I and II adjacent to the NSA waters. At present, the NWMB allocates
turbot quotas in 0A and 0B and shrimp quotas in the NSA and in 0B:
- 1500 metric tonnes of Turbot in NAFO Subarea 0B
- 500 metric tonnes striped pink shrimp inside the NSA
- an additional 500 tonnes striped pink shrimp inside the NSA, to
be harvested in competition with the fishery outside the NSA
- 1750 metric tonnes northern shrimp in an experimental fishery
in Shrimp Fishing Area 2 adjacent to the NSA
- the entire Canadian quota for Turbot in NAFO Subarea 0A, anticipated
to be approximately 2000 metric tonnes.
The NWMB has a new policy on allocating turbot
and shrimp quotas, and the deadline for applications is 2001.
