Groundfish Fishery Management Plan:
DRAFT Amendment 8
Fixed Gear Sablefish Individual Quota Program
January 1994
Draft Amendment 8 would have established an individual quota program to cover the harvest of sablefish by vessels with groundfish limited entry permits for longline and fishpot gear. Harvest of sablefish by trawl gear in the license limitation fishery or longline, fishpot and other gear by unlicensed vessels in the open access fishery is not covered by the proposed individual quota program. The fixed gear sablefish individual quota program designed by the Council would allocate sablefish quota share (quota share is a percentage of the total annual harvest guideline) to persons based primarily on catch history. Each year, holders of quota share would be allocated an amount of sab1efish individual fishing quota (individual fishing quota is an amount of sablefish pounds for the year based on the amount of quota share held) which could be taken anytime during the fishing season. A description of the affecte marine, coastal and human environments is included.
DRAFT Amendment 8 was never adopted by the Council.
