Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Atlantic Deep-Sea Red Crab Fishery; 2024-2027 Atlantic Deep-Sea Red Crab Specifications

We are proposing the quota for the 2024 Atlantic deep-sea red crab fishery, including an annual catch limit and total allowable landings limit, and projecting quotas for the 2025-2027 Atlantic deep-sea red crab fishery. This action is necessary to establish allowable red crab harvest levels that will prevent overfishing.
