Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Swordfish Quota Adjustment

NMFS adjusts the 2001 fishing year directed fishery and incidental catch quotas for North Atlantic swordfish to account for underharvest from the 1999 fishing year. Any unharvested quota from the 2000 fishing year will be transferred at a later date, once final landings have been tabulated. The 2001 South Atlantic swordfish quota remains at 289 mt dw. This action is consistent with the Fishery Management Plan for Atlantic Tunas, Swordfish, and Sharks (HMS FMP) and the provisions for swordfish quota adjustments at 50 CFR part 635.
