Abstract
NMFS announces closure of the 2000 catcher/processor fishery for Pacific whiting (whiting) at 6 p.m. local time (l.t.) November 6, 2000, because the allocation for the catcher/processor sector will be reached by that time. This action is intended to keep the harvest of whiting within the 2000 allocation levels.
