Abstract
NMFS is closing the entire Gulf of Alaska (GOA) to directed fishing with hook-and-line gear for all species that compose the ``other hook-and-line gear fishery''. This action is necessary because the bycatch allowance of Pacific halibut apportioned to the ``other hook-and-line gear fishery'' in the GOA for the 1995 fishing year has been caught.
