NMFS Suspends Daily Landing Limit for Commercial Haddock Fishing in Northeastern US

Summary

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has suspended the daily landing limit for commercial haddock fishing in the Northeastern United States until March 1, 2002, due to concerns that less than 75% of the target catch will be harvested. Vessels are allowed to carry up to 50,000 pounds of haddock per trip during this period.
