Description:

This action establishes reduced maximum retainable bycatch (MRB) percentages for shortraker and rougheye rockfish caught in the Aleutian Islands area. MRB percentages are a management tool to slow down the rate of harvest of a species placed on bycatch catch status and reduce the incentive to operators of fishing vessels to target on the species. This action establishes a bycatch species group for shortraker and rougheye rockfish in the Aleutian Islands subarea. The MRBs for these species are reduced from 15 to 7 percent for deep-water species and from S to 2 percent for shallow-water species. The new MRBs are intended to minimize the regulatory discard of these species and slow the rate of harvest to reduce the potential for overfishing.
