Atlantic Tuna Fisheries
Traducción automática local · Idioma original de la fuente
Resumen
The Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) issues this interim final rule to revise the regulations governing the Atlantic tuna fisheries to: Establish fishing category quota allocations for the 1994 fishing season; amend the specified amount of other species to be landed as a condition for landing an incidental bycatch of bluefin in the southern longline fishery; adjust the line that separates the northern and southern regulatory areas for vessels using longline gear and possessing an Incidental Catch permit for bluefin; and make technical corrections to clarify the regulatory text. This action is necessary to implement the recently adopted quota recommendation of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), to improve management and monitoring of the U.S. bluefin fisheries, to facilitate enforcement, and to enhance collection of data to improve assessment of the impacts of the fisheries.
