Trawl Gear Performance Standard
Workshop agenda:
The NPFMC will host a workshop to
engage with stakeholders and fishery
participants on ways to revise the trawl

threshold size limit, at any time, while
directed fishing for pollock using
pelagic trawl gear. Variations of the
performance standard apply in both the
BSAI and GOA. The agenda is subject to
