Requires that "conservation and management measures shall not discriminate between residents of different states. If it becomes necessary to allocate or assign fishing privileges among various U. S. fishermen, such allocation shall be (a) fair and equitable to all such fishermen; (b) reasonably calculated to promote conservation; and (c) carried out in such manner that no particular individual, corporation, or other entity acquires an excessive share of such privileges".
Industry:Fishing
Resources distributed exclusively in the high seas, i.e. in waters beyond the areas of national jurisdiction (which can be 200 nautical miles or less) excluding species fixed on the continental shelf which remain under the sovereign rights of the coastal states.
Industry:Fishing
Operating arm of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS).
Industry:Fishing
The term "best available science" comes from National Standard 2 listed in the Magnuson-Stevens Act, and is the informational standard mandated for decision making.
Industry:Fishing
The alternative that is identified as preferred by the authors of an environmental impact statement or environmental assessment. It is identified to indicate which alternative is likely to be selected, thereby helping the public focus its comments.
Industry:Fishing
Harvesting fish for personal use, sport, and challenge (e.g. as opposed to profit or research). Recreational fishing does not include sale, barter, or trade of all or part of the catch.
Industry:Fishing
Fishing mortality rate corresponding to an equilibrium spawning potential ratio equal to the inverse of the 90th percentile observed survival ratio.
Industry:Fishing
Fish in a stock born in the same year. For example, the 1987 year class of cod includes all cod born in 1987. This year class would be age 1 in 1988, age 2 in 1989, and so on. Occasionally, a stock produces a very small or very large year class that can be pivotal in determining stock abundance in later years.
Industry:Fishing
Natural resources that, after exploitation, can return to their previous stock levels by natural processes of growth or replenishment. Conditionally renewable resources are those whose exploitation eventually reaches a level beyond which regeneration will become impossible. Such is the case with the clear-cutting of tropical forests.
Industry:Fishing
Retained or discarded nontarget species caught when fishing for the primary purpose of catching a different species.
