Title: ●2015 Specifications and Management Measures for the Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish Fisheries 
Abstract:

This proposed rule would establish catch levels and associated management measures for the 2015-2017 fishing years for species managed under the Atlantic Mackerel Squid and Butterfish Fishery Management Plan. More specifically this action would: renew status quo quotas on longfin and Illex squids for an additional 3 years; lower the cap on river herring and shad catch in the mackerel fishery; increase the cap on river herring and shad catch in the mackerel fishery once the mackerel fishery catches more than 10000 mt tons; lower the Atlantic mackerel quota; substantially increase the butterfish quota; and simplify the controls on butterfish daily trip limits.
