AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
NOAA is closing the directed fishing season for Pacific cod in the central Gulf of Alaska for vessels 50 feet or longer using hook-and-line gear. The closure prevents exceeding the seasonal catch allowance. This affects commercial cod fishers in Alaska using hook-and-line boats. When the quota is reached, fishing stops — this is standard fisheries management to prevent overfishing.
