International Fisheries; Pacific Tuna Fisheries; Harvest Quotas

Resumo

NMFS announces the 1999 quotas and associated purse seine and baitboat fishery conservation measures for the eastern Pacific Ocean, consistent with recommendations by the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) and approved by the Department of State under the terms of the Tuna Conventions Act. If these quotas are reached, subsequent documents will be published announcing the dates on which the fisheries will close and any associated conservation measures to implement the quotas.
