NMFS announces that the spiny dogfish commercial quota available to the coastal states from Maine through Florida for the semiannual quota period, November 1, 2006 April 30 , 2007, has been harvested.

This action is necessary to prevent the fishery from exceeding its Period 2 quota and to allow for effective management of this stock.

The plan amendment would allow the Council to implement de minimis fisheries in years of low abundance, which: permit an ocean impact rate of no more than 10 percent on age4 Klamath River fall Chinook, if the projected natural spawning escapement associated with a 10 percent age 4 ocean impact rate, including river recreational and tribal impacts, is between 22,000 and 35,000. If the projected natural escapement associated with a 10 percent age4 ocean impact rate is les
