## Abstract

Based on projected landings, NMFS closed the south Atlantic swordfish fishery effective April 15, 1998. Actual catch reports tallied since the closure indicate that the south Atlantic swordfish quota for the period December 1, 1997, to May 31, 1998, has not been reached. NMFS therefore reopens the South Atlantic swordfish fishery to allow U.S. fishermen to harvest the remaining 1997 South Atlantic quota.
