Notice

On November 18, 2024, the 2024 ACL and commercial quota was reduced by 491 mt (1,082,470 lbs) due to an ACL overage of that amount in fishing year 2023. The adjusted commercial quota is 4,649 mt (10,249,260 lbs).

The spiny dogfish fishery is open with a possession limit of 7,500 lb per trip. Vessels continue to be prohibited from landing more than one trip per calendar day.

Negative landings can be the result of updates to the database (e.g. reported Research Set-Aside landings are subtracted from the Commercial Current Week’s Landings or Previous Weeks’ Updates). As a result, the Commercial Current Week’s Landings or Previous Weeks’ Updates can be negative.


The data used to produce this report are the best available to NOAA Fisheries at the time the report was generated. Data for this report are primarily from data received through various NOAA Fisheries data collection programs, which include data from our partner organizations, such as: Vessel Monitoring Systems; Vessel Trip Reports; Dealer Purchase Reports; and the Northeast Fisheries Observer Program. As part of its data quality assurance/quality control program, NOAA Fisheries routinely audits and corrects data, which may lead to differences between quota monitoring reports.
