Title: ●Proposed Rule To Implement Amendment 6 to the Fishery Management Plan for Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish Fisheries
Abstract: Amendment 6 would revise overfishing definitions for Loligo and Illex squid and Butterfish and implement management measures that would close the directed fisheries for Loligo and Illex squid and Butterfish when 95 percent of the domestic annual harvest is taken (as opposed to the current closure when 80 percent is taken), implement a 10 percent bycatch restriction per trip of the species for which the fishery is closed and allow the Regional Director to impose seasonal closures in the Illex Fishery.
