A regulatory amendment is used to implement changes to the Total Allowable Catch (TAC) for a reef fish Stock or Stock complex, along with any changes to fishing regulations size limits. bag and trip limits. etc.) that are needed to achieve the TAC. The TAC is a level of fishing intended to obtain Optimum Yield and to prevent overfishing, or to follow a recovery plan when a stock is overfished.
