		Also known as goosefish, anglerfish, lotte, and allmouth, monkfish differ from most finfish in that they have an enormous head which narrows into a fleshy tail, and their scaleless skin is smooth and slippery.
		Monkfish is landed as an incidental catch of the bottom trawl fishery.
		The monkfish is sold minus its head (nearly 75% of its body), thus leaving a scaleless tail section.

		The voluntary taggers found that when the monkfish were taken on board for tagging, they could be quite aggressive and great care had to be taken when they were being handled.
		All of the monkfish tagged were caught on rod and line in shallow waters usually not exceeding 5 metres in depth.
		However, in situations where tangle nets are used and where monkfish are captured it is possible that tags could be ripped from the dorsal fin and because the tags are close to neutral buoyancy they could be carried ashore by water currents.

		The monkfish, known variously as the goosefish, anglerfish, or "allmouth," is a large, ugly, benthic (bottom-dwelling) fish found in the coastal Atlantic area.
		The monkfish is an anglerfish; its spine ends in a flexible, extensible cord which it dangles for use as a fishing lure.
		Because monkfish are both a curiosity—as you might expect a large, ugly, bottom-dwelling anglerfish to be—and a commercially important food fish, there is a variety of information to be found on monkfish on the net.

	EPA: Federal Register: Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Monkfish Fishery
		Since monkfish stocks in both management areas are behind in their respective rebuilding schedules, the application of the target TAC setting method implemented in Framework 2 for FY 2006 has resulted in target TACs that are about one-half the target TACs established for FY 2005.
		Vessels that fish for monkfish in the SFMA are typically highly active during the month of May, using a large portion of their allocated monkfish DAS.
		Because the monkfish stocks in both management areas are behind in their respective rebuilding schedules, this action will reduce the target TACs in both management areas, resulting in reductions in trip limits and DAS available to vessels that fish in the SFMA.
