Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Fisheries

Document Number: E6-21866

Type: Rule

Date: 2006-12-21

Agency: Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

NMFS has determined that the daily Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) retention limits for the Atlantic tunas General category should be adjusted to provide reasonable opportunity to harvest the General category January time-period subquota. Therefore, NMFS increases the daily BFT retention limits for the entire month of January, including previously scheduled Restricted Fishing Days (RFDs), to provide enhanced commercial General category fishing opportunities in all areas while minimizing the risk of an overharvest of the General category BFT quota.
