Abstract

NMFS has adjusted the Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABT) Angling category quota by transferring 10 metric tons (mt) from the Inseason Reserve. Therefore, the Angling category fishery for school ABT will open for the northern area beginning Friday, September 13, at 1 a.m. local time and close on Sunday, September 15 at 11:30 p.m. local time. The daily catch limit for this reopening is set at one school ABT per vessel. This action is being taken to extend scientific data collection on school ABT while preventing overharvest of the adjusted subquota for the northern area.
