NMFS Reallocates Pacific Cod in Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area

Summary

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is shifting the catch limit for Pacific cod in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area from trawl catcher/processors and vessels using jig gear to those using hook-and-line or pot gear, in order to meet the 1999 total allowable catch (TAC) of Pacific cod.
