Final Amendment 46 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico

The amendment and rule would establish a 9-year rebuilding time period, retain the current gray triggerfish annual catch limits and annual catch targets for the recreational and commercial sectors, modify the recreational fixed closed season, reduce the recreational bag limit, increase the recreational size limit, and modify the commercial trip limit. These changes will not change how the fishery is prosecuted. No significant impact to protected species is expected
