Atlantic Tuna Fisheries; Adjustments

NMFS has determined that the Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABT) General category quota, as adjusted, has not been reached. Therefore, NMFS reopens the General category fishery for large medium and giant ABT for all areas until the remaining General category quota is determined to be reached. Closure of the fishery will be strictly enforced. Subsequent to this closure, the General category fishery for large medium and giant ABT for areas inside the New York Bight will remain open until the set-aside quota is reached. This action is 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.
