Abstract
NMFS issues this final rule to implement Amendment 12 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Coastal Migratory Pelagic Resources of the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic (Amendment 12). This rule extends the current moratorium on the issuance of commercial vessel permits for king mackerel through October 15, 2005. The intended effects of this final rule are to prevent speculative entry into the fishery and provide stability in the fishery.
