This proposal sets the catch limits for three types of fish and seafood in the northeastern United States for 2026: chub mackerel, squid, and butterfish. Commercial and recreational fishermen, as well as seafood consumers, are affected because these limits determine how much of each species can be caught and sold. The limits matter because they aim to keep these fish populations healthy and sustainable while allowing the fishing industry to operate.
