Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Quota Specifications and General Category Effort Controls
Bluefin Tuna Quotas and Effort Controls Published
NOAA Fisheries Service has announced Atlantic bluefin tuna quotas for each of the established domestic fishing categories and General category effort controls. The final rule is effective July 7, 2005 through May 31, 2006. Persons aboard vessels permitted in the General category are prohibited from fishing, including catch-and-release and tag-and-release, for bluefin of all sizes on the following days: all Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from November 18, 2005, through January 31, 2006, and Thursday, November 24, 2005. These restricted fishing days are intended to improve distribution of fishing opportunities during the late season without increasing bluefin mortality.
Updated landings estimates for the 2004 fishing year recently became available for several bluefin tuna fishery categories. These changes are incorporated in the final rule.
