Description:This document analyzes proposed management measures that would amend the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands (BSAI) and Gulf of Alaska (GOA) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) to require full retention of all rockfish species for fixed gear catcher vessels (CVs) in the BSAI and GOA. The management measures under consideration include an option to establish a maximum commerce allowance (MCA) and anything over that limit cannot enter commerce. Rockfish that is processed into fish meal would be excluded from this limitation. Another option under consideration is to require full retention of rockfish even if the species is on prohibited species status while still prohibiting these retained rockfish from entering commerce.
