Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; “Other Flatfish” in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands

الملخص

NMFS is prohibiting retention of "other flatfish" in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI). NMFS is requiring that catch of "other flatfish" in this area be treated in the same manner as prohibited species and discarded at sea with a minimum of injury. This action is necessary because the 2004 total allowable catch (TAC) of "other flatfish" in this area has been reached.
