Abstract
NMFS is reallocating the projected unused amount of Pacific cod from catcher vessels using trawl gear to catcher vessels greater than or equal to 50 feet (ft) (15.2 meters (m)) length overall using hook-and-line gear and to catcher/processors using trawl gear in the Central Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). This action is necessary to allow the 2024 total allowable catch (TAC) of Pacific cod to be harvested.
