## Abstract

NMFS adjusts the daily retention limit for the Angling category fishery for Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) in all areas to two school BFT and two large school or small medium BFT per vessel from September 1, 2000, through October 15, 2000. In addition, NMFS is making subsequent adjustments to the daily retention limit, as noted in the DATES section of this document. This action is being taken to provide increased fishing and data collection opportunities in all areas without risking overharvest of this category.
