## Abstract

NMFS has determined that the Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) General category daily catch limit should be adjusted in order to allow for maximum utilization of the 2001 General category June through August subquota. Therefore, NMFS increases the daily retention limit from one to two large medium or giant BFT for the remainder of the June through August time-period.
