NOAA Fisheries will reopen the commercial fishery for deepwater grouper (misty grouper, snowy grouper, yellowedge grouper, warsaw grouper, and speckled hind) and tilefishes in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the Gulf of Mexico for 10 days, beginning November 1, 2008. The agency had previously determined that quotas for these commercial fisheries would be reached by May 10, 2008; however, the latest estimates for deepwater grouper and tilefish landings indicate the quotas were not reached by that date. Consequently, these fisheries will reopen effective 12:01 a.m., local time, November 1, 2008, until 12:01 a.m., local time, on November 11, 2008. The fisheries will then be closed until January 1, 2009.
