Abstract
NMFS is closing directed fishing for the rock sole, flathead sole, and "other flatfish" fishery category by vessels using trawl gear in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI). This action is necessary to prevent exceeding the first seasonal allowance of the 2007 halibut bycatch allowance specified for the trawl rock sole, flathead sole, and "other flatfish" fishery category in the BSAI.
