June 20, 2014 — The following was released by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission:
Please note that changes have been made to the yellow fishery management section of Draft Addendum IV to the Interstate Fishery Management Plan for American Eel, specifically Options 2-4 (on pages 18-23 of the document). These changes correct a rounding error in state allocation percentages (Table 5) and includes revised finalized landings data. The resulting quota changes were minor for the majority of states but were slightly more significant to a few states (Tables 6 and 7). The revised document can be obtained at http://www.asmfc.org/files/PublicInput/AmericanEelDraftAddIV_RevisedJune19_2014.pdf.
