Abstract
NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for Atka mackerel in the Bering Sea subarea and Eastern Aleutian district (BS/EAI) of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Island management area (BSAI) by vessels participating in the BSAI trawl limited access fishery. This action is necessary to prevent exceeding the A season allowance of the 2011 Atka mackerel total allowable catch (TAC) in these areas allocated to vessels participating in the BSAI trawl limited access fishery.
