anticipated larger directed fisheries based on anticipated market demand.
Other increases in the final 2021 TACs relative to the proposed 2021 TACs include Bogoslof pollock, AI Greenland turbot, AI other rockfish, AI sablefish, BS sablefish, BSAI arrowtooth flounder, BSAI Kamchatka flounder, BSAI rock sole, BSAI flathead sole, BSAI Alaska plaice, BSAI other flatfish, Western Aleutian Islands WAI Pacific ocean perch, BSAI northern rockfish, Bering Sea and Eastern Aleutian Islands BS/
EAI blackspotted/rougheye rockfish, BSAI shortraker rockfish, Eastern Aleutian Islands and Bering Sea EAI/
BS Atka mackerel, WAI Atka mackerel, Central Aleutian Islands CAI Atka mackerel, and BSAI skates. The 2021
increases account for higher interest in
directed fishing or higher anticipated incidental catch needs.
Decreases in final 2021 TACs compared to the proposed 2021 TACs include BS pollock, BS Pacific ocean perch, CAI Pacific ocean perch, EAI
Pacific ocean perch, Central Aleutian Islands/Western Aleutian Islands CAI/
WAI blackspotted and rougheye rockfish, and BS other rockfish. The decreases are for anticipated lower incidental catch needs of these species and lower ABCs relative to 2020. The changes to TACs between the proposed and final harvest specifications are based on the most recent scientific and socioeconomic information and are consistent with the FMP, regulatory obligations, and harvest strategy as described in the proposed and final harvest specifications, including the upper limit for OY of 2.0 million mt.
These changes are compared in Table 1A.
Table 1 lists the Councils recommended final 2021 OFL, ABC, TAC, initial TAC ITAC, CDQ reserve allocations, and non-specified reserves of the BSAI groundfish species or species groups; and Table 2 lists the Councils recommended final 2022 OFL, ABC, TAC, ITAC, CDQ reserve allocations, and non-specified reserves of the BSAI groundfish species or species groups. NMFS concurs in these recommendations. These final 2021 and 2022 TAC amounts for the BSAI are within the OY range established for the BSAI and do not exceed the ABC for any species or species group. The apportionment of TAC amounts among fisheries and seasons is discussed below.
