Abstract
The following Total Allowable Catches (TACs) in the United States (U.S.)/Canada Management Area are implemented for the 2007 fishing year (FY): 494 mt of Georges Bank (GB) cod, 6,270 mt of GB haddock, and 900 mt of yellowtail flounder. This action is intended to meet the conservation and management requirements of the Magnuson- Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. These TACs may be adjusted during FY 2007, if NMFS determines that the harvest of these stocks in FY 2006 exceeded the TACs specified for FY 2006.
