Abstract
NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for Pacific cod by American Fisheries Act (AFA) trawl catcher processors in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI). This action is necessary as the 2010 Pacific cod directed fishing allowance for AFA trawl catcher processors in the BSAI has been reached.
