Fisheries and Oceans Canada is conducting what it describes as a large-scale forensic audit of a fish processing facility near Prince Rupert, B.C.
A release from the federal department says it's following up reports of illegal activity on the north coast that includes fish bartered or sold in exchange for the cost of processing or other services, such as financial loans.
The department says it expects the audit to expose potentially illegal acts, but says it also needs to hear from anyone in the public who may have sent fish to the processing plant.
