Summer Flounder Fishery; Closure of Commercial Fisheries for Massachusetts and Delaware

摘要

NMFS issues this notification announcing that the summer flounder commercial quotas for 1995 available to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the State of Delaware have been harvested. Vessels that have been issued a commercial Federal fisheries permit for the summer flounder fishery may not land summer flounder in Massachusetts or Delaware for the remainder of this year, unless additional quota becomes available through a transfer from another State not having reached its annual quota. The intent of this action is to notify vessel and dealer Federal permit holders that no commercial quota is available for landing summer flounder in Massachusetts and Delaware so that stock abundance of summer flounder is rebuilt.
