Proposed Interim 2009 and 2010 Harvest Specifications and Management Measures for Petrale Sole and Canary Rockfish Off the Pacific Coast. Final Environmental Assessment.

摘要

This document provides background information and analyses of revisions to 2009 management measures and 2010 harvest specifications and management measures for petrale sole (Eopsetta jordani) and canary rockfish (Sebastes pinniger) in fisheries covered by the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP). The groundfish harvest specifications are set every two years. Harvest specifications for all groundfish species for the 2009 and 2010 biennium, including petrale sole and canary rockfish, were analyzed in a previous Environmental Impact Statement (PFMC and NMFS 2009) and were based on the best scientific information available at that time.
