Thank you for your question.
Indeed, many of the dates that we have, not only for snow crab in the gulf but also for most fisheries that we manage, have set season dates, which are agreed to in advance and don't vary from year to year. There are others that are open all year long, through regulation, and then the regional director general of that region can vary, through a variation order, the opening date or closing date, based on the conditions at the time and in consultation with harvesters.
The short answer is yes, absolutely, and in most cases, we do that.
