The government fixed its math for Gulf of Maine cod and Georges Bank haddock limits

What happened
The US government corrected two numbers in its temporary rules for fishing limits in the Northeast. This means the official catch limits for Gulf of Maine cod and Georges Bank haddock are now slightly different than first announced.
