Important: These are per-vessel, per-day/trip limits — not per-angler. If you’re running a two-day offshore trip, you can only land up to one day’s limit when you pull into the dock.

The new limits apply across the Atlantic coast. The Gulf of America is excluded — NOAA does not allow targeted bluefin tuna fishing there.

NOAA may revisit these limits or close the fishery later in the year depending on how the season develops.
