Description:"This action sets the specifications for the 2015 fishing year for mackerel, and 2015 through 2017 fishing years for butterfish, Illex and longfin squid, as well as other management measures for the species managed under the Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish Fishery Management Plan, as recommended by the Council. This action would: Renew status quo quotas for longfin and Illex squids for an additional three years; Reduce the Atlantic mackerel catch by 38 percent to 20,872 metric tons for 2015; Increase the butterfish catch from 3,200 mt to 22,530 mt in 2015, 21,042 mt in 2016, and 20,652 mt in 2017; Simplify the controls on butterfish daily trip limits through a change to the three-phase butterfish monitoring program; and Reduce the cap on river herring and shad catch in the mackerel fishery from 236 mt to 89 mt, but allow an increase from 89 mt to 155 mt if the mackerel fishery catches more than 10,000 mt of mackerel"--Cover letter summary.
