What the agency says

NMFS announces the re-opening of the commercial longline component of golden tilefish in South Atlantic Federal waters. The most recent landings data indicate that the commercial annual catch limit (ACL) of golden tilefish caught by bottom longline gear for the 2024 fishing year has not yet been reached. Therefore, NMFS re-opens the commercial longline component to harvest golden tilefish in South Atlantic Federal waters for 8 days. The purpose of this temporary rule is to allow for the commercial longline ACL for golden tilefish to be harvested while minimizing the risk of exceeding the commercial ACL.
