1 Except for GOM cod and GOM haddock, the groundfish sub-ACL is equal to the commercial groundfish sub-ACL.  For GOM cod and GOM haddock, the groundfish sub-ACL includes the commercial sub-ACL and the recreational sub-ACL.  For inseason monitoring, the commercial groundfish sub-ACL for GOM cod is 830 mt and 187 mt for GOM haddock.
1To account for overages of the 2016 ACLs for GB cod, GOM cod, and witch flounder, the following sub-ACLs were reduced midyear: GB cod (sector and common pool),
GOM cod (sector only), and witch flounder (sector and common pool)
