Description:"This action establishes catch level and associated management measures for the 2014 fishing year for species managed under the Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish Fishery Management Plan. The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council reaffirmed the 3-year catch level recommendation for Illex squid and longfin squid (2012-2014), and for Atlantic mackerel (2013-2015), so no changes are proposed for catch levels for those species. The proposed action would: Increase the butterfish ABC by 8 percent and the butterfish landings limit by 24 percent compared to 2013: Set a 236-mt cap on river herring and shad catch in the mackerel fishery, raise the post-closure possession limit for longfin squid to 10,000 lb for vessels targeting Illex squid; and change the butterfish Phase 3 trip limit to 600 lb. (from 500 lb.) for longfin squid/butterfish moratorium permit holders to make it consistent with the incidental butterfish trip limit"--Cover letter.
