NMFS Adjusts Pacific Cod TAC in Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands

Summary

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is adjusting the 2006 total allowable catch amount for Pacific cod in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area to allow for the harvest of Pacific cod not caught under the State of Alaska's guideline harvest level for the Aleutian Islands subarea. This change aligns with the goals and objectives of the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands.
