The WMM Fisheries Co-op is hosting meetings this week with international fish buyers from China and the United States.  The group’s Frank Kenyon urges commercial fishers to come out and meet with these buyers to learn about selling to freshwater and foreign buyers and how this selling will also change our lakes.  He explains the foreign markets are more for the under utilized fish like the carp and mullets and not so much for the pickerel which has been hard on them and there’s too many carp and mullets in them so because of their abundance and because the price will increase in these foreign markets commercial fishermen will now be targeting carp and mullet which compete with pickerel and hopefully it will improve our lakes.

Meetings are being held in Gimli tomorrow and Eddystone on Wednesday with the most northern meeting at the Kikiwak Inn in The Pas Thursday afternoon from 1 to 4.
