Burbot (ling) are "game fish" and "sport fish" according to "the guide to the fishing regulations"
I am not aware of any size restrictions but there are provincial and lake specific "bag limits"
they are a great eating fish and should not be wasted.
If you clean and fillet burbot in the field you must leave a patch of skin on each piece to identify it to spices. And cannot freeze them in a block so the species and number cannot be determined.
