FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLANS
SCUP
Implementing regulations for these fisheries are found at 50 CFR Part 648 Subpart H
The scup fishery is managed cooperatively by the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council and the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission. The commercial fishery is managed by trimester (Winter I, Summer, Winter II) subquotas. The recreational scup fishery is managed under separate regulations for Federal and state waters. In cases where state and Federal regulations differ, federally permitted charter/party vessels are required to abide by the more restrictive measure.
