NMFS has determined that the Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABT) General category quota and Angling category quota for 1995 have been reached. Therefore, the General category fishery will be closed effective at 11:59 p.m. on September 12, 1995, and the Angling category fishery will be closed effective at 11:59 p.m. on September 17, 1995. This action is being taken to prevent further overharvest of these categories. NMFS also announces a transfer of 15 mt of ABT from the longline-south Incidental subcategory to the longline-north Incidental subcategory. NMFS has determined that the fisheries landing ABT under the longline-south Incidental subcategory will not achieve the full 1995 allocation. NMFS also transfers from the Reserve category to account for overharvest in the General, Harpoon, and Angling categories. These actions are being taken to extend the season for the longline-north Incidental subcategory, ensure additional collection of biological assessment and monitoring data, and prevent waste of bluefin tuna that might otherwise be discarded dead.
