Abstract
NMFS is prohibiting retention of pollock in the Eastern Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). NMFS is requiring that catches of pollock in this area be treated in the same manner as prohibited species and discarded at sea with a minimum of injury. This action is necessary because the pollock total allowable catch (TAC) in the Eastern Regulatory Area of the GOA has been reached.
