Fisheries off West Coast States and in the Western Pacific; Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery; Pacific Whiting Allocation

الملخص

NMFS has determined that the Indian tribal fishery will be unable to harvest 10,000 metric tons (mt) of their 2001 Pacific whiting (whiting) allocation. NMFS therefore, announces the reapportionment of surplus whiting from the tribal allocation to the catcher/processor, mothership, and shore-based sectors. This action is intended to provide for the full harvest of whiting available to the 2001 fishery.
