Fisheries Off West Coast States and in the Western Pacific; West Coast Salmon Fisheries; Inseason Action #9 - Adjustment of the Recreational Fishery from Leadbetter Point, Washington, to Cape Falcon, Oregon

Zusammenfassung

NMFS announces a regulatory modification in the recreational fishery from Leadbetter Point, WA, to Cape Falcon, OR (Columbia River Subarea). Effective Friday, September 9, 2005, the daily bag limit for the Columbia River Subarea was modified as follows: "All salmon, except no Chinook retention, two fish per day, all retained coho must have a healed adipose fin clip." All other restrictions remain in effect as announced for 2005 ocean salmon fisheries, and by previous inseason actions. This action was necessary to conform to the 2005 management goals, and the intended effect is to allow the fishery to operate within the seasons and quotas specified in the 2005 annual management measures.
