Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery

Краткое содержание

NMFS issues this notice to implement a temporary adjustment of the meat count and shell height standards for the Atlantic sea scallop fishery. Its purpose is to take into account the fact that at the end of the spawning season, the scallop resource is dominated by small scallops. This action increases the average meat count standard to 33 meats per pound (MPP) (33 meats per 0.45 kg) and the shell height standard to 3\11/16\ inches (94 mm).
