FAQs

I am a technical consultant and I need the Department's help in researching certain fisheries subjects. Do I have to pay?

If you are a consultant working on a Goverment-paid or sponsored project, we are happy to help you at no charge except perhaps for expensive media costs. If you are a consultant working on a private company's project (I guess you are being paid for this), we will have to charge certain fees based on the time our officers put into your project or the materials and media involved.

Many consultants contact us for basic data and information about fisheries and related subjects. Our research library is available for references; please try to access this facility yourself before asking for a ready-made, I-will-pick-it-up-this-afternoon package.
