## Abstract

NMFS announces that the commercial salmon fishery in the area from Fort Ross to Point Reyes, CA, was closed at midnight, July 12, 1999. The Northwest Regional Administrator, NMFS (Regional Administrator), has determined that the commercial quota of 2,500 chinook salmon has been reached. In addition, 2,500 chinook salmon will be transferred from the May/June commercial troll fishery between the U.S.-Canada border and Cape Falcon, Oregon, to the July through September fishery between Cape Flattery and Leadbetter Point, WA. These actions are necessary to conform to the 1999 management measures and are intended to ensure conservation of chinook salmon.
