Fisheries off West Coast States and in the Western Pacific; Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery; Trip Limit Changes

Résumé

NMFS announces further routine management measures adjusting the Pacific Coast groundfish limited entry fisheries for the Sebastes complex and its components, canary and yellowtail rockfish, and the Dover sole, thornyhead, trawl-caught sablefish (DTS) complex and all its components. These actions are authorized by regulations implementing the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP), which governs the groundfish fishery off Washington, Oregon, and California. These changes are intended to keep landings close to the 1997 harvest guidelines and allocations for these species.
