Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Area

摘要

NMFS issues a technical amendment to the 1994 Pacific cod specifications authorized under Amendment 24 to the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for the Groundfish Fishery of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Area (BSAI) and published with the final rule implementing this amendment. This technical amendment is necessary to clarify a table that sets forth the 1994 seasonal apportionments of the amount of Pacific cod total allowable catch (TAC) allocated to vessels using hook-and-line or pot gear. It is intended to promote management and conservation of groundfish and other fish resources and to further the goals and objectives contained in the FMP.
