DFO will continue to take action whenextreme environmental conditions (very low water levels and high watertemperatures) warrant a closure.Annex 5Salmon ANGLING LOGDFO scientists require catch-and-effort information to develop anunderstanding of our salmon stocks and the impact angling has on theresource. The salmon angling log is DFO’s primary source of catch-andeffortinformation in the recreational salmon fishery.
