A recent reassessment of Newfoundland and Labrador's northern cod stock has some in the industry calling an end to the commercial moratorium implemented in 1992.
Alberto Wareham, president and CEO of Icewater Seafoods in Arnold's Cove, says last year's reassessment — the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, in reviewing historical data, moved cod from the "critical" zone to the "cautious" zone — could signal the potential for a limited commercial harvest.
