## Abstract

NMFS issues an inseason adjustment prohibiting directed fishing for pollock by vessels catching pollock for processing by the inshore component in the Western Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). This adjustment closes the fishery 18 hours after its scheduled opening at 1200 hrs, Alaska local time (A.l.t.), June 1, 1997, and is necessary to prevent the underharvest of the pollock total allowable catch (TAC) in the Western Regulatory Area.
