Abstract

NMFS adjusts the Angling category subquota for large school/ small medium Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABT) fishery by transferring 10 mt from the Angling category subquota for school ABT, for a revised Angling category subquota of 161 mt for the large school/small medium size classes. NMFS reopens the Angling category fishery for large school and small medium ABT in the northern area (New Jersey and states north). The daily catch limit for the reopening is two large school ABT and one small medium ABT per vessel. This action is being taken to ensure reasonable fishing opportunities in the northern area without risking overharvest of this category.
