## Abstract

NMFS announces adjustments to the annual specifications and management measures to increase the harvest guideline for sablefish and provide conversion factors for lingcod. NMFS also announces inseason adjustments to increase the commercial trip limits for trawl-caught sablefish and yellowtail rockfish, and to reduce the recreational bag limit for rockfish off Washington State. These actions are authorized by the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan which governs the harvest of groundfish in the U.S. exclusive economic zone off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California. These actions are intended to correct an error in the calculation for the sablefish harvest guideline, enable the 1995 harvest guidelines for yellowtail rockfish and the limited entry allocation for trawl-caught sablefish to be reached, to reduce fishing effort in the recreational fishery for black rockfish off Washington State, and to accommodate traditional fishing and marketing practices in the lingcod fishery.
