Abstract
NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for species that comprise the deep-water species fishery by vessels using trawl gear in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). This action is necessary because the second seasonal apportionment of the 2003 Pacific halibut bycatch allowance specified for the deep-water species fishery in the GOA has been reached.
