Description:The proposed management program is to implement the following: I) Increase the Total Allowable Catch (TAC) to I 0.0 million pounds for Atlantic migratory group king mackerel. The commercial allocation is 3.71 million pounds (37.1 %) and the recreational allocation is 6.29 million pounds (62.9%) which, based on an average recreational weight of 10.46 pounds in 1998/99 from the 1999 stock assessment, equates to 601,338 fish. 2) Increase the Total Allowable Catch (TAC) to 7.04 million pounds for Atlantic migratory group Spanish mackerel. The commercial allocation is 3.87 million pounds (55%) and the recreational allocation is 3.17 million pounds (45%) which, based on an average recreational weight of 1.56 pounds in 1998/99 from the 1999 stock assessment, equates to 2,032,000 fish. 3) Increase the recreational bag limit from IO to 15 fish per person per day for Atlantic migratory group Spanish mackerel. 4) Increase the Atlantic migratory group king mackerel trip limit in the Southern Zone (Brevard through Miami-Dade Counties, FL) to 75 fish. 5) Modify the Atlantic migratory group Spanish mackerel trip limits for the Southern Zone (south of the Florida/Georgia boundary). 6) Modify MSY and the status determination criteria (using ranges) to reflect the new biomassbased values.
