DFO had a number of collaborative arrangements with the fishing industry for research projects. To help generate revenues to pay for scientific activities, DFO would allocate specific quotas of fish to the fishing industry. The sale of this fish by the industry would then help fund science activities done by DFO or by the fishing industry.
