Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Atlantic Herring Fishery; Adjustment to the 2021 Specifications

Resumen

NMFS increases the 2021 Atlantic herring annual catch limit and Area 1A sub-annual catch limit by 1,000 metric tons (mt). This action is required by the herring regulations when, based on data through October 1, the New Brunswick weir fishery lands less than 3,012 mt of herring. This notice informs the public of these catch limit changes.
