Abstract
NMFS is prohibiting retention of blackspotted and rougheye rockfish in the Central Aleutian and Western Aleutian districts (CAI/ WAI) of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI). This action is necessary because the 2023 blackspotted and rougheye rockfish initial total allowable catch (ITAC) in the CAI/WAI of the BSAI has been reached.
