Most Wicked Fishing Rules Confront Newfoundland Assembly
Mr GC Wingfield moved to defeat new Fisheries and Oyster Farms Act regulations on net lengths and fish sizes. The government blocked the motion by party lines. Wingfield called the rules the most wicked he had seen, arguing 1650 licensed fishermen would lose livelihoods and fish prices would rise. He cited mullet sizes 14 and 12 inches as affected and warned inspectors’ opinions were not sought. He compared the change to a PRawn size increase that harmed prices and said 10 percent of water was left for gulls and fish to eat.
