2024 Scup Winter II Period Quota and Possession Limit Increase
The commercial scup quota and the possession limit per trip for the 2024 Winter II Period (October 1-December 31) have increased due to the rollover of unused quota from the Winter I period.
| 2024 Winter II Period | Initial (lb) | Rollover (lb) | Revised (lb) |
| Commercial Scup Quota | 3,370,790 | 1,703,229 | 5,074,019 |
| Possession Limit, Per Trip | 12,000 | N/A | 16,500 |
When the state and Federal possession limits are different, the most restrictive requirement applies for fishery participants that have both state and Federal permits.
