Abstract

NMFS has determined that the Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABT) Angling category quota, as adjusted, has not been reached. Therefore, the Angling category fishery for school ABT will open for the northern area beginning Saturday, September 28, at 1 a.m. local time and close on Sunday, September 29 at 11:30 p.m. local time. The daily catch limit for this reopening is set at two school ABT per vessel. Additionally, NMFS adjusts the October subquota for the General category by transferring 22 mt from the Reserve, and adjusts the General category effort control schedule for October. These actions are being taken to extend scientific data collection on several size classes of ABT while preventing overharvest of the adjusted subquotas for the affected fishing categories.
