Published March 20, 2025. Takes effect March 20, 2025. printed at 90 FR 13098. amending 50 CFR 622.
This closes the king mackerel catch in part of the Gulf. It applies to one kind of net.
What the Rule Says It Does
NMFS closes commercial harvest of king mackerel using run- around gillnet gear in the southern zone of the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) exclusive economic zone (EEZ). NMFS has determined that the commercial landings of king mackerel harvested by run-around gillnet gear in the southern zone have reached the annual catch limit (ACL). Therefore, NMFS implements an accountability measure (AM) and closes the southern zone to commercial king mackerel fishing using run-around gillnet gear in the Gulf EEZ. This closure is necessary to protect the Gulf king mackerel resource.
