Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Groundfish Fisheries by Vessels Using Hook-and-Line Gear in the Gulf of Alaska

요약

NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for groundfish by vessels using hook-and-line gear in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA), except for sablefish or demersal shelf rockfish in the Southeast Outside District. This action is necessary because the Pacific halibut prohibited species catch (PSC) limit specified for hook-and-line gear targeting groundfish other than sablefish in the GOA and demersal shelf rockfish in the Southeast Outside District has been reached.
