Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Pollock by Vessels Using Nonpelagic Trawl Gear in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Island Area

الملخص

NMFS is closing the directed fishery for pollock by trawl vessels using nonpelagic trawl gear in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI). This action is necessary to prevent exceeding the BSAI bycatch allowance of halibut specified for the trawl pollock/Atka mackerel/``other species'' fishery category.
