Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Pacific Cod in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area

Resumo

NMFS is reallocating the projected unused amount of Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI) Pacific cod from trawl catcher/processors and vessels using jig gear to vessels using hook- and-line or pot gear. These actions are necessary to allow the 2000 total allowable catch (TAC) of Pacific cod to be harvested.
