NMFS Prohibits Pacific Cod Fishing in Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has prohibited directed fishing for Pacific cod by catcher processor vessels using hook-and-line gear in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area due to the risk of exceeding the 2000 total allowable catch (TAC) allocated for this type of fishing. This measure aims to prevent overfishing and maintain the sustainability of Pacific cod stocks in the region.
