Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; “Other Species” in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands

Özet

NMFS is prohibiting retention of "other species" in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI). NMFS is requiring that catch of "other species" in this area be treated in the same manner as prohibited species and discarded at sea with a minimum of injury. This action is necessary because the 2004 total allowable catch (TAC) of "other species" in this area has been reached.
