1 Cod/Scup Proposed Regulations MRAC Update January 22, 2019
2 Cod/Scup Proposed Rules Purpose of the rulemaking is to ensure consistency between federal and state fishery management plans for: Atlantic Cod Scup
3 Atlantic Cod Decrease the commercial size limit for Atlantic cod from 22 to 19 inches. This will make the size limit for cod in New York consistent with neighboring states and federal waters. Set commercial possession limit to 50 lbs. for Atlantic cod for NYS Food Fish License holders. Federal permit holders and dual federal permit/state license holders must follow federal rules.
4 NYS Fisher Cod Landings 2015 - 2017 Minimum Federal possession limit is 25 lbs 2015-2017 average catch landed is 35 lbs 72% of total trips landed under 35 lbs. 60% of landings and 88% of trips are 75 lbs 74% of landings and 96% of trips are 100 lbs Looking for feedback from MRAC regarding potential trip limits
5 NYS Fisher Cod Landings 2015 - 2017 Average Catch (lbs) Year Landings(lbs) Trips Participants 2015 3290 88 37 21 2016 2697 91 30 30 2017 3341 83 40 31
6 MRAC Data Request Number of vessels harvesting >100 lbs. Gear Types Area Fished Time of year Landing Port Permit Type
7 MRAC Data Request Number of vessels harvesting >100 lbs. Four Gear Types Trawl & Rod and Reel Area Fished Federal Waters (613, 537) Time of year December - February Landing Port Shinnecock & Montauk Permit Type Federal only, no NYS permitted fishers
8 Other considerations: Use language to allow federally and dual NY/federally permitted fishers to transit state waters with their federal limit of cod and land in NY ports, similar to winter flounder.
9 Scup The department proposes to set an incidental small mesh bycatch exemption to 2000 lbs., April 15 June 15, for scup as voted on at the August Mid-Atlantic Fisheries Management Council (MAMFC) meeting.
