Abstract

This action closes the Cape Cod/Gulf of Maine yellowtail flounder Trimester Total Allowable Catch Area to Northeast multispecies common pool vessels fishing with gillnet and trawl gear for the remainder of Trimester 1, through August 31, 2016. The closure is required by regulation because the common pool fishery has caught 90 percent of its Trimester 1 quota for Cape Cod/Gulf of Maine yellowtail flounder. This closure is intended to prevent an overage of the common pool's quota for this stock.
