Abstract
NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for pollock by vessels greater than 99 ft length overall (LOA) catching pollock independently of a fishing cooperative for processing by the inshore component in the Steller sea lion conservation area (SCA) of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI). This action is necessary because the interim A season inside SCA allocation of pollock total allowable catch (TAC) specified for the vessels greater than 99 ft LOA within the SCA catching pollock independently of a fishing cooperative will be reached.
