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 an overage of the 2017 ACL for GOM cod, the sector and common pool sub-ACLs for GOM cod were reduced in Framework 58.
2The Southern New England/Mid Atlantic and Georges Bank yellowtail flounder sub-ACLs for the scallops fishery were reduced by 13.1 mt and 15.2 mt, respectively,
and the groundfish sub-ACLs were increased by the same amount, by mid-year transfers from the scallops fishery to the groundfish fishery.
