This book was released on 2018-12-17 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Law Library presents the complete text of the Fisheries of the Northeastern United States - Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery and Northeast Multispecies Fishery - Framework Adjustment 24 and Framework (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Regulation) (NOAA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 This action approves and implements Framework Adjustment 24 to the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery Management Plan (Framework 24) and Framework Adjustment 49 to the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (Framework 49), which the New England Fishery Management Council (Council) adopted and submitted to NMFS for approval. Framework 24 sets specifications for the Atlantic sea scallop fishery for the 2013 fishing year, including days-at-sea allocations, individual fishing quotas, and sea scallop access area trip allocations. This action also sets default fishing year 2014 specifications, in case the New England Fishery Management Council delays the development of the next framework, resulting in implementation after the March 1, 2014, start of the 2014 fishing year, and transitional measures are needed. In addition, Framework 24 adjusts the Georges Bank scallop access area seasonal closure schedules, and because that changes exemptions to areas closed to fishing specified in the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan, Framework 24 must be a joint action with that plan (Framework 49). Framework 24 also continues the closures of the Delmarva and Elephant Trunk scallop access areas, refines the management of yellowtail flounder accountability measures in the scallop fishery, makes adjustments to the industry-funded observer program, and provides more flexibility in the management of the individual fishing quota program. This ebook contains: - The complete text of the Fisheries of the Northeastern United States - Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery and Northeast Multispecies Fishery - Framework Adjustment 24 and Framework (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Regulation) (NOAA) (2018 Edition) - A dynamic table of content linking to each section - A table of contents in introduction presenting a general overview of the structure

Download or read book Secretarial Amendment to Establish Annual Catch Limits and Accountability Measures for the Small mesh Multispecies Fishery written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has prepared a Secretarial Amendment, under the authority of Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) section 304(c)1)(A), for the small-mesh multispecies component of the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP). The Secretarial Amendment is intended to establish a mechanism for specifying annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs) for silver hake, red hake, and offshore hake, collectively known as 'small-mesh multispecies.' There are two stocks each of silver and red hake (northern and southern), and one stock of offshore hake. Offshore hake are primarily caught incidentally in the southern silver hake fishery and they are marketed together as 'whiting.' The New England Fishery Management Council (Council) is responsible for managing the small-mesh multispecies fishery through the Northeast Multispecies FMP and initiated the development of an amendment in 2009 (Amendment 19) to that management plan to implement ACLs and AMs for the small-mesh multispecies. However, development of Amendment 19 was delayed in order to incorporate the results from a stock assessment of all three species that occurred in November 2010 (Stock Assessment Workshop (SAW) 51.) The Magnuson-Stevens Act requires the establishment of the ACL and AM framework by 2011. NMFS is developing this action to meet that deadline and bring the small-mesh multispecies fishery into compliance with the Magnuson-Stevens Act. While the Secretarial Amendment does not have an expiration date, and would be in effect until Amendment 19, if approved, replaces it, NMFS intends for this amendment to act as a bridge for the small-mesh multispecies fishery and does not address the full suite of measures that the Council is developing for Amendment 19. In order to minimize confusion and ease the transition between the two amendments, NMFS chose as the preferred alternatives the most general and flexible from the Council's preliminary list of alternatives for Amendment 19. The Secretarial Amendment also proposes the same ACL framework mechanism that the Council is analyzing for Amendment 19, which is based on recommendations from the Council's Scientific and Statistical Committee (SCC)"--Executive summary (page i).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report is an updated assessment of U.S. sea scallops, using data through the end of the 2005 calendar year. The methodology used here is identical to that used in the last fully peer-reviewed stock assessment (NEFSC 2004), but is updated to include two more calendar years of landings and fishery-independent survey data (2004-2005). The Atlantic sea scallop, Placopecten magellanicus, occurs in continental shelf waters of the Northwest Atlantic between Cape Hatteras and Newfoundland. It supports one of the most valuable fisheries in the United States, with an ex-vessel value in 2005 of over $430 million, and is the most valuable wild scallop fishery in the world. Major commercial concentrations of sea scallops in U.S. waters occur in the Mid-Atlantic Bight (Virginia to Long Island), on Georges Bank and surrounding areas (including the Great South Channel and Nantucket Shoals), and near-shore areas in the Gulf of Maine"--Introduction.

Download or read book Atlantic Sea Scallop Placopecten Magellanicus Maturation on Georges Bank During 1993 written by Frank P. Almeida and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sea scallop gonad samples collected by U.S. commercial scallop vessels fishing Georges Bank during January-August 1993 were analyzed macroscopically and histologically to determine maturity stage and time of spawning on the bank. Reports of a possible winter-early spring spawn on Georges Bank prompted the analysis, which has important biological and management implications. The analyses indicated a general progression from early developmental stages iwinter earlyly spring to ripe in July-August. Gonadosomatic indices indicated a steady progression of maturatIon during July-August. There was, however. a single male scallop, collected south of Martha's Vineyard in early February, that appeared to be actively spawning and two females collected from the Great South Channel area east of Chatham, Mass. in early May in a late developing stage. It is not known whether these three scallops were contributing to a spring spawn in the Southem New England area or on Georges Bank, or were simply maturing earlier during 1993 in response to environmental conditions.
