Determination of Overfishing or an Overfished Condition

This action serves as a notice that NMFS, on behalf of the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary), has found that the following stocks are subject to overfishing--Hood Canal coho salmon and Pribilof Islands blue king crab; the following salmon stocks are approaching an overfished condition--Quillayute Fall coho and Snohomish coho; and the following stocks are still both overfished and subject to overfishing-- Western and Central North Pacific striped marlin and Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico dusky shark. NMFS, on behalf of the Secretary, notifies the appropriate fishery management council (Council) whenever it determines that overfishing is occurring, a stock is in an overfished condition, a stock is approaching an overfished condition, or when a rebuilding plan has not resulted in adequate progress toward ending overfishing and rebuilding affected fish stocks.
