Values in metric tons of live weight 1Based on scallop fishing year April 2018 through March 2019
2Discard estimates not applicable. Lobster/crab discards were not attributed to the ACL, consistent with the most recent assessments
for these stocks used to set the respective quotas.
*Some or all catch attributed to separate sub-ACL as shown in Tables 1 through 5, and so is not included above. *Some or all catch attributed to separate sub-ACL as shown in Tables 1 through 5, and so is not included above.

Nov. 22, 2019, run date of Sept. 17, 2019 These criteria are used by the Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries Office to categorize trips to attribute groundfish catch for groundfish ACL accounting.  By necessity these rules cannot capture the full complexity of categorizing every trip taken by vessels fishing in the Northeast.  Further analysis should be completed to definitively attribute groundfish catch to an FMP for management purposes.
