Steps

Enter the catch information for the shipment. When a Group Based application is created, some information on the Catch tab needs to be filled in before going to the Grouping tab. The Applicant must enter the species, catch area and date ranges on the Catch tab before going to the Grouping tab. If they do not enter information in this order, there will be no groupings on the Grouping Tab available for selection. Groupings will only appear and be available for selection after the catch dates, catch area and species are entered. Once ALL catch dates have been entered, the Grouping tab will display all groupings that are valid for the catch dates.

 

Note: FCS will display all groupings for the designated species that are valid for those dates.

 

The Catch tab appears as follows:

 

 

 

 

  1. References of Management Measures – The application will default to ‘Fisheries Act’ as the default regulation. Please contact the Catch Certification Program: Operations Centre for more details on ‘US Legislation’ and ‘Coastal Fisheries Protection Act’.

 

  1. Health Certificate Number – Health certificate number as issued by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). It is recommended that you complete this field; however, it is not mandatory.

 

  1. Add Species – The first step in the Catch tab is to select the species contained in your shipment. It is mandatory to add at least one species.
