Abstract

NMFS implements a regulatory amendment to establish separate maximum retainable bycatch (MRB) percentages for shortraker rockfish and rougheye rockfish (SR/RE) in the Aleutian Islands Subarea (AI) groundfish fisheries. This action is necessary to slow the harvest rate of SR/RE, which will reduce the potential for overfishing. This action is intended to further the objectives of the Fishery Management Plan for the Groundfish Fishery of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Area (FMP).
