Abstract

NMFS announces that the Administrator, Northeast Region, NMFS (Regional Administrator), has projected that less than 75 percent of the 6,252 mt haddock target total allowable catch (TAC) will be harvested for the 2001 fishing year under the present landing limit, so the daily landing limit is being suspended until March 1, 2002. Therefore, between November 6, 2001, and February 28, 2002, vessels fishing under a multispecies day-at-sea (DAS) may possess no more than 50,000 lb (22,680 kg) per trip, but are not restricted to a limit of haddock per DAS. Unless subsequent projections indicate some other measure is required to ensure that the haddock target TAC is harvested but not exceeded, the existing daily trip limit of 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) per DAS will go back into effect on March 1, 2002.
