NMFS Reopens 2019 U.S. Pelagic Longline Fishery for Bigeye Tuna in Western and Central Pacific Ocean

Summary

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is temporarily reopening the 2019 U.S. pelagic longline fishery for bigeye tuna in the western and central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) for five days, as the fishery fell short of its 3,554 metric ton limit, allowing it to catch the remaining available limit.
