Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Area; Yellowfin Sole in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area

摘要

NMFS is closing the directed fishery for yellowfin sole by vessels using trawl gear in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI). This action is necessary to prevent exceeding the second seasonal bycatch allowance of Pacific halibut apportioned to the trawl yellowfin sole fishery category in the BSAI.
