Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Area; Pollock in the Bering Sea Subarea by the Offshore Component

摘要

NMFS is closing the directed fishery for pollock by vessels catching pollock for processing by the offshore component in the Bering Sea subarea (BS) of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI). This action is necessary to prevent exceeding the second seasonal allowance of the pollock total allowable catch (TAC) apportioned to vessels harvesting pollock for processing by the offshore component in this area.
