Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Individual Fishing Quota Program; Standard Allowances for Ice and Slime

Краткое содержание

NMFS issues a final rule that establishes standard allowances for ice and slime found on unwashed Pacific halibut and sablefish landed in the Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) fisheries for these species and incorporates them into the conversion factors for halibut and product recovery rates for sablefish used by NMFS to debit IFQ accounts. This action is necessary to correct inaccuracies in the current accounting process for landed IFQ product and is intended to support the goals and objectives of the IFQ program.
