STATE OF MAINEDEPARTMENT OFINLAND FISHERIES & WILDLIFE284 STATE STREET41 STATE HOUSE STATIONAUGUSTA ME 04333-0041JANET T. MILLSGOVERNORJUDITH CAMUSOCOMMISSIONERMarch 2, 2021Dear Commercial Sucker Harvester,This letter is part of the information packet included when you purchase a Permit to Harvest and SellSuckers in the State of Maine. It is intended to expand upon harvesting conditions detailed on the permitapplication that you should be aware of when harvesting suckers. Be sure to review and comply withALL permit conditions/definitions listed on the application and permit.Last year we began allowing coated wire mesh of 5/4” x 5/4” for traps due to its availability. Flexiblemesh must be no larger than 3/8” x 3/8” when measured from adjacent corner to adjacent corner (or 3/4”x 3/4" when stretched and measured from opposite corner to opposite corner). These maximum meshsizes (5/4” for coated wire material and 3/8” for flexible material) apply to all parts of the net includingthe entrance head and any guide wings.As a reminder, the wetted width restriction means that your nets cannot block more than 1/3 of thestream. This means that if the water surface of a stream is 9’ wide, your net cannot block more than 3’ ofthe stream’s width. It is your responsibility to alter net placement if water levels drop to ensure that nomore than 1/3 of the stream is blocked. Keep in mind that the wetted width restriction and the 50’minimum distance between nets take into account the entire net, including wings.By purchasing this permit, you are legally required to report your harvest annually, even if you did notharvest. Your harvest information is essential to the informed management of this public resource andfailure to report will result in suspension of your license privileges. You are also making a commitmentto follow Maine’s Fish and Wildlife Biosecurity Protocols, found at the end of this packet, to prevent thespread of aquatic plants and animals. Lastly, please be respectful of private property and obtainappropriate permissions. Following regulations, preventing the spread of invasive species, andrespecting land ownership helps ensure that commercial sucker harvesting can continue.Thank you,Jerrod ParkerSenior Resource BiologistMaine Dept of Inland Fisheries & WildlifeJerrod.Parker@Maine.govCell: (207) 557-0591PHONE: (207) 287-8000FISH AND WILDLIFE ON THE WEB:www.maine.gov/ifwEMAIL ADDRESS:ifw.webmaster@maine.gov

Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and WildlifeSucker Harvest Report LogSucker harvesters are required to report their fishing/catch information to the Maine Department of InlandFisheries and Wildlife. All of the data submitted as part of the report is for scientific purposes only. Reportinformation and will remain confidential, except that the commissioner may disclose data released in a formthat is statistical or general in nature. Harvesters should report their information on the log forms provided withtheir permit; additional forms can be requested from the Department or photocopied as needed from theoriginals you received. Reports must be submitted to Jerrod Parker, Maine Department of Inland Fisheries andWildlife, 284 State Street, Augusta, Maine 04333 (or by email: Jerrod.Parker@maine.gov) by December 31stof each year. However, we would advise you to send in your report in when you complete your season, as anyperson who fails to report will be prohibited from obtaining a Sucker Harvest Permit the next year.Remember to file a report even if you did not fish during the current season.Instructions for Sucker Harvest Report Log Harvesters need to report their full name, permit #, address, and telephone #. Information is to be recorded for each day, each water fished and for each individual net, in other words datacannot be combined to include more than 1 day or multiple waters/nets. If multiple waters and/or nets are fishedon the same date, then a separate entry is required for each water and each net. Be sure to record information on zero catch days, which still provides the Department with valuableinformation on fish abundance and catch rates. Data to be recorded for each sucker trapping event includes:Date – the month/day/year of each trip.Town – Town name where the deployed gear is located.County – County name where the deployed gear is located.Name of Waterbody – name of the primary waterbody listed on harvest permit where gear is deployed (ex.Unity Pond). For purposes of this permit, a “Waterbody” is considered a lake, pond or large river and itstributaries.Gear Location – name of the actual tributary/stream/brook where gear is located; please be specific as possible(ex. Bithers Brook at Rte. 202 crossing). GPS coordinates are preferred.Gear Type – the type of gear used on the date and water recorded (i.e. trap-net, fyke-net, hoop-net, dip-net,spear). Please list specific type of gear used and whether it is rigid wire or net material.Amount Harvested – report the quantity in pounds and include the total number of suckers, so that we canestimate the average size of the suckers you harvested.Other Species Observed – record any observations about other species that were captured and released on thedate and water specified, please include approximate numbers.

Maine Dept. of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW)General procedures to minimize the spread of aquatic plants, animals, and pathogensSince the introduction and spread of certain aquatic animals and plants to our inland waters has the potential todo great harm, it is illegal to knowingly transfer them from one body of water to the next. These guidelines aredesigned to minimize the potential spread of aquatic plants, animals, and pathogens by those individuals thatwork on the inland waters of our state.Personnel working with aquatic organisms in state waters should maintain a high standard of biosecurity.Biosecurity is defined as, “practical steps that can be taken to minimize the spread of unwanted organisms.”Preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species and diseases of aquatic animals amongst state waters is adirective of the highest priority. Brush and use water at the loading/unloading site of the water body to rinse soil, biofilms, egg masses,and other biota before removing gear and equipment for transport. Cleaner equipment is moreeffectively disinfected. Always visually inspect and remove by hand all plants and organisms from gear and equipment beforeleaving the work site. Gear and equipment must be disinfected before transporting to the next water. The disinfection areashould be established away from surface waters of the state and other environmentally sensitive areasthat could be harmed by disinfection work. Ideally the disinfection area should be of excellent drainage orpercolation at a location in which a garden hose is accessible.Disinfection of gear and Equipment Vehicles, ATV’s, snowmobiles - Trucks, ATV’s, and snowmobiles should be washed at car wash facilities.Washing frequency should be reasonably periodic. Boats, trailers - Remove drain plug and drain bilge water from boats at loading/unloading site of the waterbody. Boats and trailers can be washed at car wash facilities. Washing frequency should be reasonablyperiodic. Personal equipment and gear – Gear and Equipment should be sprayed with a hose to remove soil andorganics prior to disinfection. Disinfection for most equipment is best accomplished with submersion in asolution of household bleach and water at a concentration of 1 oz. bleach/ gallon of water in a large trashcan. Non-water absorbing gear and equipment can be sprayed with disinfectant to thoroughly soak allsurfaces. Use of equipment that comes in constant contact with waters of the state, such as waders, dipnets, seines, gloves, etc., should be allowed to set in solution for 10 minutes before rinsing. Chlorinatedwater should be neutralized with sodium thiosulfate prior to disposal. Disinfection water should never bedumped into waters of the state. Personal protection gear such as gloves and eye protection should alwaysbe worn and equipment manufacturer information for proper cleaning method should be consulted. Virkonper manufacturer directions or rubbing alcohol can be substituted where appropriate. Water absorbing equipment and gear made with porous materials- To be effective, disinfection should be bysubmersion with a disinfectant as described above or as an alternative, nets can be soaked in a salt brine(3%) overnight to destroy freshwater aquatic organisms. When possible, nets are to be cleaned, brined,rinsed, and dried in sunlight between uses.Reporting RequirementsAquatic animals - Identification of invasive aquatic species should be reported to MDIFW. Contact: FrancisBrautigam (207) 287-5263.Aquatic plants - Unknown species or plants known to be aquatic nuisance species should not be transportedunless placed in a sealed container. Small specimens may be transported to the Maine Dept. of EnvironmentalProtection for species identification. Contact: John McPhedran (207) 287-2813.Updated 3/19/18
