CORNER BROOK, N.L. — While fingers are often pointed at seals for consuming more than their fair share of commercial fish species, a study on mackerel has shown other predators have likely been putting a bigger dent in the fish stock.
“A lot of harvesters were asking us about seals and were worried, so we started to wonder maybe there is more going on,” said Elisabeth van Beveren, a DFO biologist who co-authored the study. According to the report, the amount of mackerel consumed by all predators was likely at least two times greater than reported Canadian commercial fishery landings — which were less than 11 kilotonnes — during the 10-year period studied.
