Abstract

NMFS has determined that the Atlantic bluefin tuna Angling category quota, as adjusted, has not been reached. Therefore, NMFS reopens the Angling category for school ABT for the northern area. The daily catch limit for the Angling category reopening is set at one school ABT per vessel. Additionally, NMFS adjusts the October subquota for the General category by transferring 30 metric tons (mt) from the Incidental Longline category, and reopens the General category fishery for all areas for one day. These actions are being taken to extend scientific data collection on certain size classes of ABT while preventing overharvest of the adjusted subquotas for the affected fishing categories. Closures will be strictly enforced.
