Abstract
NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for rock sole, flathead sole, Alaska plaice, and other flatfish by vessels using trawl gear in the Herring Savings Areas of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI). This action is necessary to prevent exceeding the 2023 herring bycatch allowance specified for the rock sole, flathead sole, Alaska plaice, and other flatfish fisheries in the BSAI. This action includes prohibiting directed fishing for rock sole, flathead sole, other flatfish by vessels participating in the Community Development Quota Program.
