Abstract
NMFS announces that the commercial salmon fishery in the area between Cape Alava to Leadbetter Point, WA for all salmon except chinook reopened on September 22, 1999, with the suspension of certain gear restrictions and the coho trip limit. The fishery closed as scheduled on September 30, 1999, and will not reopen. There were 12,027 coho remaining in the quota when the fishery opened. This action was necessary to conform to the 1999 management measures and is intended to ensure conservation of chinook salmon.
