Abstract

NMFS closes the fishery for school Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABT) conducted by Angling category fishermen in the waters off Delaware and states south. Closure of this fishery is necessary because the annual quota of 65 metric tons (mt) of school ABT allocated for this subcategory in waters off Delaware and states south is projected to be attained by July 25, 1996. The intent of this action is to prevent overharvest of the quota established for this fishery.
