Abstract:
In response to the American Fisheries Act (AFA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) developed a management program for Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area (BSAI) pollock complete with a set of permits. This revision incorporates the Chinook Prohibited Species Quota (PQS) Program into the collection. The Chinook PSQ Program is established to promote reduction of Chinook salmon PSQ in the BSAI pollock fishery to the extent practicable while achieving optimum yield in the pollock fishery. The focus of the Chinook PSQ Program is the BSAI pollock fishery because this trawl fishery catches up to 95 percent of the Chinook salmon taken as PSQ in the BSAI groundfish fisheries. Non-Chinook salmon PSQ reduction measures will also remain in effect.
