Canary rockfish (Sebastes pinniger) COSEWIC assessment and status report: chapter 16

Existing protection or other status designations

Landings are currently controlled within the commercial fisheries using a variety of harvest controls including area-specific yearly quotas, and individual vessel quotas (IVQs). Removals in commercial fisheries are now essentially completely monitored. Catches in the recreational fishery are somewhat constrained through bag limits for “rockfish” and Rockfish Conservation Areas.
