	Government Response to the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans
		The Committee recommends that, where local agreements can be reached to make room for new aboriginal entrants by fishermen each voluntarily giving up a portion of their quota of lobster traps, in a manner that does not increase the overall fishing effort, the federal government should support those agreements.
		It is the cornerstone of the vision of today’s commercial fishery: a fishery that is sustainable, viable and self-reliant.
		The Committee recommends that, as licences are transferred to aboriginal groups, particularly in the lobster fishery, a way must be found to prevent excessive localized fishing effort in order to avoid adversely affecting the health of stocks, particularly in sensitive areas such as spawning and nursery grounds.

		According to an FAO report to be presented tomorrow, deep-sea fisheries resources are particularly vulnerable to over-exploitation due to their low productivity -- the fish reproduce slowly and take a long time to grow to maturity.

		Harp seals and Atlantic cod: Notes for a presentation to the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans, House of Commons, Ottawa.

		One reason why scientists have been frustrated in their attempts to evaluate the effects of increasing or decreasing the size of a seal population on fish stocks and fisheries is actually quite simple to understand.
