Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Area; Interim 1997 Harvest Specifications

摘要

NMFS issues interim 1997 total allowable catch (TAC) amounts for each category of groundfish, pollock Community Development Quota (CDQ) amounts, and prohibited species bycatch allowances for the groundfish fishery of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI). NMFS is closing certain fisheries as specified in the interim 1997 groundfish specifications. The intended effect is to conserve and manage the groundfish resources in the BSAI.
