NMFS adjusts the daily catch limit for the Angling category fishery for Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABT) to one fish per vessel, which may be from the school, large school, or small medium size class of ABT. This action is being taken to lengthen the fishing season and to ensure reasonable fishing opportunities in all geographic areas without risking overharvest of this category. EFFECTIVE DATE: The daily catch limit adjustment is effective 12:01 a.m., local time, January 1, 1997, until the effective date of the 1997 Atlantic tuna annual quotas and effort controls, which will be published in the Federal Register.
