Abstract
NMFS issues an inseason adjustment prohibiting directed fishing for pollock in Statistical Area 620 of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) and extending the C fishing season for pollock in Statistical Area 620 until further notice. This adjustment is necessary to manage the C seasonal allowance of the pollock total allowable catch (TAC), given the existence of excessive harvesting capacity.
