Title: ●Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; 2009 North and South Atlantic Commercial Quotas
Abstract: This rule would establish the 2009 fishing season quotas for North and South Atlantic swordfish based on recent updated landings information and recommendations from the 2008 annual meeting of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). This rule is necessary to ensure that current swordfish quotas account for underharvests and reserve transfer from the 2008 fishing year, consistent with regulations at 50 CFR part 635 and ICCAT recommendations that establish the U.S. North and South Atlantic swordfish allocations. This proposed rule may also include other minor regulatory clarifications.
