Abstract
NMFS announces changes to trip limits in the Pacific Coast groundfish limited entry, fixed gear daily trip limit fishery for sablefish, and in the open access fisheries for sablefish and widow rockfish. These actions, which are authorized by the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery management plan (FMP), are intended to help the fisheries achieve optimum yield (OY).
