Trappers can submit carcasses of red fox, Arctic fox, Weasel, Beaver, Lynx, Labrador marten, Mink, Muskrat and Otter.
Government’s Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture’s Wildlife Division, in partnership with Memorial University, is testing for avian influenza in furbearers. Trappers can submit carcasses of red fox, Arctic fox, Weasel, Beaver, Lynx, Labrador marten, Mink, Muskrat and Otter. Memorial University will provide a $10 carcass collection payment for each specimen submitted, up to a total of 1,000 specimens. This program will only apply for the remainder of the 2024/25 trapping season. Payment eligibility is on a first-received basis until payment forms for 1,000 registered carcasses have been collected (500 from Labrador and 500 from the Island of Newfoundland). Payments will be issued at the end of the collection process. Carcasses can be submitted to any Forestry and Wildlife office. For more information contact the Wildlife Division at 709-637-2025.
