## Abstract

NMFS is prohibiting retention of shortraker/rougheye rockfish in the Eastern Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). NMFS is requiring that catch of shortraker/rougheye rockfish in this area be treated in the same manner as prohibited species and discarded at sea with a minimum of injury. This action is necessary because the amount of the 1998 total allowable catch (TAC) of shortraker/rougheye rockfish in this area has been reached.
