Abstract

NMFS issues quotas for the Atlantic surf clam, ocean quahog, and Maine mahogany quahog fisheries for 1999. These quotas were selected from a range defined as the optimum yield (OY) for each fishery. The intent of this action is to establish allowable harvests of Atlantic surf clams and ocean quahogs from the exclusive economic zone and establish an allowable harvest of Maine mahogany quahogs from the waters north of 43 deg.50' N. lat. in 1999.
