Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Area

الملخص

NMFS is prohibiting retention of Greenland turbot in the Aleutian Islands subarea (AI) of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI). NMFS is requiring that catches of Greenland turbot in the AI be treated in the same manner as prohibited species and discarded at sea with a minimum of injury. This action is necessary because the Greenland turbot total allowable catch (TAC) in the AI has been reached.
