Abstract
NMFS is closing directed fishing for groundfish by vessels using trawl gear in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA), except for directed fishing for pollock by vessels using pelagic trawl gear in those portions of the GOA open to directed fishing for pollock. This action is necessary because the 2001 Pacific halibut prohibited species catch (PSC) limit specified for trawl gear in the GOA has been caught.
