Western Pacific Crustacean Fisheries

摘要

NMFS announces the immediate closure of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) crustacean fisheries due to the final quota being exceeded in 1994. Further lobster fishing in the NWHI is prohibited for the remainder of 1994. Lobster already harvested must be landed prior to midnight August 31, 1994. This action is intended to prevent overfishing and to achieve optimum yield according to the objectives of the Fishery Management Plan for the Crustacean Fisheries of the Western Pacific Region (FMP).
