Abstract
NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for Pacific cod by catcher/processors using pot gear in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI). This action is necessary to prevent exceeding the A season apportionment of the 2025 Pacific cod total allowable catch (TAC) allocated to catcher/processors using pot gear in the BSAI.
