## Abstract

NMFS has determined that landings of Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABT) since January 1, 1997 and continued high catch rates warrant an interim closure of the ABT Angling category. Therefore, the Angling category fishery for school, large school, and small medium ABT is closed in all areas until further notice.
