Title: Amendment 51 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico; Establish Gray Snapper Status Determination Criteria and Modify Annual Catch Limits | |
Abstract:
This rulemaking action proposes to implement the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council's Amendment 51 to the Fishery Management Plan for Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish. In implementing Amendment 51, this action proposes to establish status determination criteria consistent with Magnuson Stevens Act National Standard 1 Guidelines for gray snapper, including an estimate of the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) proxy, minimum stock size threshold, and optimum yield for the Gulf of Mexico gray snapper stock. In addition, the action proposes to modify the gray snapper annual catch limit (ACL) consistent with a recent stock assessment and the preferred MSY proxy, which uses the fishing mortality rate corresponding to 26 percent spawning potential ratio. |
