Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Season and Retention Limit Adjustments

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is proposing changes to the regulations for catching Atlantic bluefin tuna in U.S. waters, aiming to reduce overfishing, rebuild the tuna population by 2019, and minimize bycatch. The proposed rule would increase the daily retention limit for the General category and allow the season to stay open until the January subquota is reached.
