Abstract
NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for species that comprise the shallow-water species fishery by Amendment 80 vessels in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). This action is necessary because the first seasonal apportionment of the sideboard limit for 2012 Pacific halibut prohibited species catch (PSC) specified for the shallow-water species fishery by Amendment 80 vessels in the GOA has been reached.
