Bait fishers have been asked to limit their catches due to a drop in certain species of bait fish, especially anchovies and herring.New regulations have also been passed for bait nets used in Harrington Sound and Flatts Inlet.Net depths for these areas have been restricted, from 18 feet down to 12 feet, in an effort to reduce the impact of fishing.Director of Environmental Protection Fred Mind said there had been complaints that some fishermen were taking whole schools of bait.“We are asking for the cooperation of these and all fishermen in taking bait in moderation,” he said. “This will help to sustain the bait fish populations for generations to come.”
