Abstract
NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for Pacific ocean perch in a specified area of the Western Aleutian District of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI). This action is necessary to limit incidental catch of rougheye rockfish and prevent overfishing of rougheye rockfish in the BSAI.
