Abstract
NMFS announces that the commercial salmon fishery in the subarea from the Queets River, WA to Cape Falcon OR, was projected to reach its 10,000 coho quota and was closed effective at midnight on Tuesday, September 7, 2004. In addition, regulations for the commercial salmon fishery in the subarea from the U.S.-Canada Border to the Queets River, were modified to open the fishery September 8 through the earlier of September 15, or a subarea quota of 8,000 marked coho, with a landing and possession limit of 125 chinook per vessel for the 8-day open period. These actions were necessary to conform to the 2004 management goals.
