| As new trap research and testing is completed the list of certified traps by species is updated. Traps will be added to this list over time. The most current certified trap list by category is available at the Fur Institute of Canada (FIC) website at www.fur.ca, or you may obtain a new list by contacting the Wildlife Division at (709) 637 – 2382. | |||
For the following species and trap categories, the year of entry into force of the obligation to use only Agreement on International Humane Trapping Standards (AIHTS) Certified traps has not yet been determined. When sufficient numbers of certified traps are available, regulations will follow. This date, which could vary from one species to another, will be known at least three years in advance. Until then, traps that are currently legally permitted can still be used for these species.

As it pertains to the AIHTS, there is no live capture cage or box trap certified to date. This means that until a list of certified cage or box traps are made available, trappers may continue to use those cage or box traps as per existing provincial legislation.

| * Certified trap models are given exclusive identification letters that manufacturers will have to mark on traps they manufacture after 2007. Trappers may still legally use these same trap models after the implementation of the AIHTS, regardless of whether or not they bear this mark. For example, new Woodstream Oneida Victor Conibear 330’s will have a certification number on the trap. However, trappers may continue to use the same trap model whether or not it has this number. ** Lynx season is currently closed on the Island of Newfoundland. |
