الملخص

NMFS announces a 1,000 lb (454 kg)/trip limit of Dover sole in the limited entry trawl fishery coastwide for the month of December. This action, which is authorized by the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) and its implementing regulations, is within the 2001 optimum yield (OY) for Dover sole and is intended to allow landings of Dover sole caught incidentally in other flatfish fisheries.
