Description:"This document describes the environmental effects of the annual specifications and management measures for Pacific mackerel for the fishing season July1 through June 30. The annual overfishing limit (OFL), acceptable biological catch (ABC), annual catch limit (ACL), and harvest guideline (HG) or annual catch target (ACT) are established using the current estimated Pacific mackerel biomass applied to the formulas and sustainable yield criteria in the fishery management plan (FMP). The harvest strategy approved each year must meet predetermined criteria that are carefully selected to avoid adverse effects to the fishery resource and recognizing that the biomass of Pacific mackerel, along with the economic impacts to fishermen and communities dependent on the resource, fluctuates naturally from year to year. The method and effects for determining the annual catch amounts were analyzed in 1998 as a supplemental environmental impact statement for Amendment 8 to the Coastal Pelagic Species Fishery Management Plan (CPS FMP, PFMC 1998) as well as the Environmental Assessment for Amendment 13 to the CPS FMP"--Summary (page 4).
