Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Summer Flounder Fishery; Commercial Quota Harvested for Virginia

Samenvatting

NMFS announces that the summer flounder commercial quota available to the State of Virginia has been harvested. Vessels issued a commercial Federal fisheries permit for the summer flounder fishery may not land summer flounder in Virginia for the remainder of calendar year 2000, unless additional quota becomes available through a transfer. Regulations governing the summer flounder fishery require publication of this notification to advise the State of Virginia that the quota has been harvested and to advise vessel permit holders and dealer permit holders that no commercial quota is available for landing summer flounder in Virginia.
