and duties as though sections 307 through 311 of the Magnuson-Stevens 
Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1857 through 1861) 
were incorporated into and made a part of each such Act. Except as 
provided in subsection (c), any person that violates any Act to which

privileges and immunities, provided in the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery

        is a conflict between a provision of this subsection and the 
        corresponding provision of any section of the Magnuson-Stevens

        provision of this subsection shall apply.
            (2) Civil administrative enforcement.--The amount of the 
        civil penalty for a violation of any Act to which this section 
        applies shall not exceed $250,000 for each violation. Each day 
        of a continuing violation shall constitute a separate 
        violation.
            (3) Civil judicial enforcement.--The Attorney General, upon 
        the request of the Secretary, may commence a civil action in an 
        appropriate district court of the United States to enforce this 
        Act and any Act to which this section applies, and such court 
        shall have jurisdiction to award civil penalties or such other 
        relief as justice may require, including a permanent or 
        temporary injunction. The amount of the civil penalty for a 
        violation of any Act to which this section applies shall not 
        exceed $250,000 for each violation. Each day of a continuing 
        violation shall constitute a separate violation. In determining 
        the amount of a civil penalty, the court shall take into 
        account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the 
        prohibited acts committed and, with respect to the violator, 
        the degree of culpability, any history of prior violations and 
        such other matters as justice may require. In imposing such 
        penalty, the district court may also consider information 
        related to the ability of the violator to pay.
            (4) Criminal fines and penalties.--
                    (A) Individuals.--In the case of an individual, any

                $500,000, imprisonment for not more than 5 years, or 
                both. If, in the commission of such offense, an 
                individual uses a dangerous weapon, engages in conduct 
                that causes bodily injury to any officer authorized to 
                enforce the provisions of this Act, or places any such 
                officer in fear of imminent bodily injury the maximum 
                term of imprisonment is 10 years.

        pursuant to this Act, is guilty of a criminal offense 
        punishable--

                    (B) in the case of any other person, by a fine of 
                not more than $1,000,000.

                this section applies, shall forfeit to the United 
                States--

                        connection with or as a result of the offense; 
                        and
                            (ii) any property, real or personal, used 
                        or intended to be used to commit or to 
                        facilitate the commission of the offense,
