Issues Identified for Discussion Under 

this Amendment 

(1) Research-Set-Aside (RSA) 

provision: Currently there is no option 

for allocating a portion of the spiny 

dogfish quota to support research 

projects. The Councils are considering 

adding an RSA provision to the FMP. 

(2) Commercial Quota Allocation 

Alternatives: Currently, the commercial 

quota for spiny dogfish is allocated 

seasonally into two periods in the 

fishing year. Period 1 (May 1–Oct 31) is 

allocated 57.9 percent of the quota and 

Period 2 (Nov 1–Apr 30) is allocated 

42.1 percent of the quota. The Councils 

are considering alternative allocation 

(i.e., geographic) schemes for the 

Federal quota. 

(3) Specifying the spiny dogfish quota 

and/or trip limits by sex: The Councils 

are considering modifications to the 

FMP that would allow for sex-specific 

annual specification of spiny dogfish 

commercial quota and/or trip limits. 

(4) Limited Access Spiny Dogfish 

Permit: Federal spiny dogfish permits 

are currently available to all vessels. 

The Councils are considering modifying 

the Federal permit to make it a limited 

access permit. It is possible that an 

incidental catch permit would also be 

established that would be open access. 

(5) Recreational Spiny Dogfish 

Fishery: To the extent that 

recreationally caught spiny dogfish are 

retained, that component of the overall 

fishery is not acknowledged in the FMP. 

The Councils are considering adding 

management measures for the 

recreational fishery to the FMP. 

Following the scoping process, the 

Councils may develop additional 

approaches and alternatives (including 

No Action) to address these issues, 

consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act. The above issues under 

consideration are described in greater 

detail in the scoping document itself; 

copies may be obtained from the 

Council (see ADDRESSES) or via the 

Internet at http://www.mafmc.org
