Yes, our ELOGS are nationally certified by the DFO for: Lobster; Crab; Whelk, Bivalve Mollusks, and Squid; Groundfish (including Redfish, Cod, Turbot, and Halibut); Small Pelagics (including Mackerel, Herring, Alewife, Capelin, and Smelt); and Salmon. We will soon be qualified for Shrimp as well.
By January 1, 2025, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) will require electronic logbooks (ELOGS) in Crab and Lobster fisheries across the Gulf and Quebec regions, with other regions and fisheries to follow shortly.
Currently, different DFO regions allow the use of ELOGS for certain species but not others. The list of species for which ELOGS can be used and cannot be used is updated regularly. Please check with your regional DFO officer to confirm whether or not you can use ELOGS for your fishery, or contact us directly.
