Abstract

NMFS adjusts the daily catch limit for Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) in all areas to one fish per vessel, which may be from the school, large school, or small medium size class.. The Angling category trophy fishery for large medium and giant BFT remains at one fish per vessel, per year. This action is being taken to lengthen the fishing season and to ensure reasonable fishing opportunities in all geographic areas without risking overharvest of the quota established for the Angling category fishery.
