  <description><![CDATA[ NMFS is required pursuant to 50 CFR 648.71 to specify annual 
catch quotas for the Atlantic surfclam and ocean quahog fisheries. In

mahogany ocean quahog fisheries for 2004. These regulations specify 
allowable harvest levels of Atlantic surfclams and ocean quahogs from 
the Exclusive Economic Zone and an allowable harvest level of Maine 
mahogany ocean quahogs from Atlantic waters north of 43 50' N. lat. in 
2004.
