NMFS is requiring that catch of shortraker and rougheye rockfish 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 shortraker and rougheye rockfish 2004 total allowable catch (TAC) in this area has been reached.
