This is really confusing. Do you fish scallops with gill nets, or do you get divers to go down and try to pluck them out of the water column? What I'm trying to figure out is why the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans for Canada would say that my argument is irrelevant because the water column is under international jurisdiction?
My point, and NAFO's point, was that the bottom fisheries are now closed due to a NAFO decision, not a Canadian decision.
Do you fish scallop and crab using bottom fisheries?
