Discussion Paper Inclusion of Grenadiers in the Fishery Management Plans For the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands and/or the Gulf of Alaska Objectives
This paper discusses the inclusion of grenadiers (family Macouridae) into the fishery management plans (FMPs) for groundfish of the BSAI (Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands) and GOA (Gulf of Alaska) either as individual species or as a species complex “in the fishery”, or as an “ecosystem component”.
