Groundfish are those that stay close to the ocean floor. There are 90+ species of groundfish managed through the policies of the PFMC’s Groundfish Management Plan, under the Magnuson Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act and other Federal laws. The various species include rockfish, lingcod, greenlings and other species somewhat closely associated with the ocean bottom.
