Yes, they are:

[/#000000][/#0000ff][font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"]Possession limit means the maximum number of unpreserved fish a person may have in possession.
[/font][font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"]Preserved fish means fish prepared in such a manner, and in an existing state of preservation, as to be fit for human consumption after a 15-day period, and does not include unfrozen fish temporarily stored in coolers that contain ice, dry ice, or fish that are lightly salted.

[/#000000][/#0000ff][#0000ff][#000000]This means that when your catch has been frozen and vacuum packaged, it is no longer considered part of your possession limit. Just feezing your fish doesn't remove them -- they must be packaged as well so that they can be fit for consumption longer than 15 days -- this is why fish camps include vacuum packing!

[/#0000ff][quote TubeDude][#0000ff] ...[/#0000ff][#0000ff] you need to do your homework. [/#0000ff][/quote]
My homework has been done. Has yours? (I fully understand that you were in Canada).
Glad to hear you didn't ship more than a possession home with you. Many anglers do.
