Notice

The quota period for blueline tilefish began on January 1, 2021. The commercial trip limit is 500 lb. Fish must have head and fins attached, but may be gutted. If 70% of the commercial quota is reached we will reduce the trip limit to 300 lb. If the full commercial quota is reached we will close the commercial fishery by prohibiting possession of blueline tilefish.

The 2021 commercial quota was reduced by 1,965 pounds because of a quota overage in 2020. Further details are in the final rule (86 FR 28292; May 26, 2021).
