NMFS Transfers Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Quota to General Category Fishery

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has transferred 68.7 metric tons of Atlantic bluefin tuna quota from the Reserve category to the October through November 2020 General category subquota period, reopening the General category fishery for two days to allow for the full annual U.S. bluefin tuna quota to be harvested without exceeding it.
