Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) has a requirement, on behalf of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), for the provision of a cod sentinel survey, as specified.
Background
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Science Branch, in the Newfoundland and Labrador Region has a requirement for the delivery of a cod sentinel. Sentinel surveys have been conducted in the inshore areas of Newfoundland and Labrador since 1995. They are collaborative science projects between DFO and industry organizations that were developed in order to augment Science information on inshore cod stocks. These projects provide valuable catch rate and biological information on cod, as well as provide platforms for other research initiatives, including mark and recapture work that gives information on fish mortality and movement.
There are three (3) enterprises involved in the cod sentinel survey in this area (North West Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) Division 3K). Participants in the cod sentinel program will collect biological data for age-determination and will also record the presence of by-catch.
Period of Contract
The proposed contract is from the date of award to March 31, 2020.
GSIN: F030A
