Quota Reallocation for BSAI Groundfish
The National Marine Fisheries Service is moving amounts from the non-specified reserve into the initial total allowable catch (ITAC) for Bering Sea Greenland turbot, Bering Sea “other rockfish,” Bering Sea Pacific ocean perch, and Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands “other flatfish.” This apportionment is intended to allow those fisheries to continue operating and to support the fishery management plan goals for the BSAI area.
