Abstract
NMFS announces opening and closing dates of the first and second directed fisheries for Atka mackerel within the harvest limit area (HLA) in Statistical Areas 542 and 543. These actions are necessary to fully use the 2003 HLA limits established for the Central (area 542) and Western (area 543) Aleutian Districts pursuant to the 2003 Atka mackerel total allowable catch (TAC). NMFS also prohibits directed fishing for Pacific cod by vessels using trawl gear in the HLA.
