Public Works and Government Services Canada will award a contract for a commercial fishing vessel for use by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). DFO requires a large fishing vessel to conduct scientific research and biological sampling. The preferred vessel will be greater than 65 ft, with a current Category "NAFO 3L-3N" license whose captain has a history of commercial fishing which includes groundfish and snow crab.
The primary goal of the survey is to execute scientific sampling and to collect scientific data according to the specified protocol identified by the Scientific Authority. The research is planned to start in late July and will finish in October 2018. It will include three vessel trips, each approximately 10 days duration. The study will take place on North eastern portion of the Newfoundland Grand Bank, near the 200 mile limit. Two study areas approximately 50-70 km apart will be selected for fishing activities.
There will be three additional one year option periods for 2019, 2020 and 2021.
