ACTION: Notice; receipt of application for
exempted fishing permit.
This notice announces receipt
of an exempted fishing permit (EFP)
application from the International
Halibut Commission (IPHC). If granted,
this EFP would allow crew members on
a selected hook-and-line vessel targeting
Pacific cod in the western Aleutian
Islands in winter to collect biological
samples from incidentally caught
halibut and release those fish back to
the water in a timely manner to increase
survivability. Biological samples
collected would include a fork length
measurement and a small tissue sample
from the caudal fin for genetic analysis.
A NMFS-trained fishery observer would
assign a viability category for each
sampled halibut as per existing IPHC/
NMFS protocols. The objective of the
EFP application is to confirm or reject
results of a previous genetic stock
structure study which indicated that
Pacific halibut in the western Aleutian
Islands are genetically distinct from the
remainder of the eastern Pacific
population. This experiment has the
potential to promote the objectives of
the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act and
the Northern Pacific Halibut Act.
DATES: Comments on this EFP
application must be submitted to NMFS
on or before October 10, 2017. The
North Pacific Fishery Management
Council (Council) will consider the
application at its meeting from October
2, 2017, through October 10, 2017, in
Anchorage, AK.
ADDRESSES: The Council meeting will be
held at the Anchorage Hilton Hotel, 500
W 3rd Ave, Anchorage, AK 99501. The
