Abstract
NMFS is adjusting the General category daily retention limit from one large medium or giant Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) to three large medium or giant BFT. This daily retention limit applies to Atlantic Tunas General category (commercial) permitted vessels and Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Charter/Headboat permitted vessels with a commercial sale endorsement when fishing commercially for BFT. This adjustment will be effective for the June through August subquota time period until further modified.
