Graham Wood, who operates Mussel Bed Boat Tours in Notre Dame Bay, is preparing for the opening of the tourist season. But he says the rules in the province are different from those in the rest of Atlantic Canada. The recreational fishery in this province only allows tourists to retain fish for three days a week, and he says that’s making it difficult for smaller operators to stay in business.

He’s calling on both levels of government to look at changing the rules. A statement is expected form DFO sometime this week.
