Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Summer Flounder, Scup and Black Sea Bass Fisheries; 1997 Scup Specifications

概要

NMFS proposes specifications for the 1997 scup fishery that include commercial catch quotas and other restrictions. The implementing regulations for the fishery require NMFS to publish proposed specifications for the upcoming fishing year and provide an opportunity for the public to comment. The intent of these measures is to prevent overfishing of the scup resource.
