NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for Pacific cod by catcher processor vessels using pot gear in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI). This action is necessary to prevent exceeding the A season apportionment of the 2004 total allowable catch (TAC) of Pacific cod allocated to catcher processor vessels using pot gear in the BSAI.
