Abstract
NMFS implements an accountability measure (AM) for the commercial harvest of the Atlantic migratory group of Spanish mackerel in the northern zone of the Atlantic exclusive economic zone (EEZ). NMFS projects that landings will soon reach the revised commercial quota for Spanish mackerel in the northern zone of the Atlantic EEZ for the 2026-2027 fishing year. In accordance with the regulations for the Atlantic migratory group of Spanish mackerel, NMFS closes the northern zone for commercial harvest to protect this fishery resource.
