Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Alaska pollock is everywhere. If you're eating fish but you don't know what kind it is, it's almost certainly pollock. Prized for its generic fish taste, pollock masquerades as crab meat in california rolls and seafood salads, and it feeds millions as fish sticks in school cafeterias and Filet-O-Fish sandwiches at McDonald's. That ubiquity has made pollock the most lucrative fish harvest in America--the fishery in the United States alone has an annual value of over one billion dollars. But even as the money rolls in, pollock is in trouble: in the last few years, the pollock population has declined by more than half, and some scientists are predicting the fishery's eventual collapse. Crucial to understanding the pollock fishery, he shows, is recognizing what aspects of its natural history make pollock so very desirable to fish, while at the same time making it resilient, yet highly vulnerable to overfishing. Bailey delves into the science, politics, and economics surrounding Alaska pollock in the Bering Sea, detailing the development of the fishery, the various political machinations that have led to its current management, and, perhaps most important, its impending demise. He approaches his subject from multiple angles, bringing in the perspectives of fishermen, politicians, environmentalists, and biologists, and drawing on revealing interviews with players who range from Greenpeace activists to fishing industry lawyers."--Amazon.

Download or read book Biological Assessment of the Effects of the Federal Fisheries State Parallel Groundfish Fisheries and Pacific Halibut Fisheries on the Southwest Alaska Distinct Population Segment of the Northern Sea Otter and Its Designated Critical Habitat written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) listed the southwest Alaska distinct population segment (SWDPS) of the northern sea otter as threatened in 2005. In 2006, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the USFWS consulted on the effects of the groundfish, crab, and scallop fisheries on the SWDPS of the northern sea otter. The consultation concluded with a determination that the fisheries were not likely to adversely affect the SWDPS. In 2009, the USFWS designated critical habitat of the SWDPS of the northern sea otter, and consequently, NMFS is requesting reinitiating consultation under section 7 of the ESA. The fisheries analyzed are: Alaska groundfish fisheries as authorized by the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area, the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska, and the State of Alaska parallel groundfish fisheries in State of Alaska waters; Alaska king and Tanner crab fisheries as authorized by the Fishery Management Plan for Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs; Alaska salmon fisheries as authorized by the Fishery Management Plan for the Salmon Fisheries in the EEZ off Alaska; Alaska scallop fisheries as authorized by the Fishery Management Plan for the Scallop Fishery off Alaska. In addition, this consultation pertains to the effect on SWDPS of northern sea otters and their critical habitat from Pacific halibut fisheries in U.S. Convention waters off Alaska within International Pacific Halibut Commission regulatory areas 2C, 3A, 3B, 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, and 4E. In this analysis, the potential direct and indirect impacts of federal fisheries and fisheries managed by the State of Alaska with federal coordination or oversight are evaluated in the context of the SWDPS of the northern sea otter and its designated critical habitat. The best available commercial information is used to describe the potential impacts of the fisheries on sea otters and on their designated critical habitat. Cumulative effects of non-federal actions also are examined. Effects of the fisheries on sea otters and their critical habitat can be either direct or indirect effects. Direct effects include the incidental take of sea otters in fishing gear and the disturbance of sea otters by fishing vessels. The potential for incidental takes of SWDPS of northern sea otters in the fisheries analyzed in this biological assessment is discountable. Potential indirect effect on the SWDPS of northern sea otters or on their critical habitat is due to impacts on prey resources. Prey species are varied and include urchins, crabs, and bivalves, which may be directly or indirectly harvested in one or more target fisheries. Primary Constituent Elements (PCEs) for critical habitat include food, water, air, light, minerals, or other nutritional or physiological requirements (73 FR 76457, December 16, 2008). Fishery indirect effects on prey would be primarily from the direct or incidental harvest of these species or effects on the habitat that support these prey resources. Fishery catch data within critical habitat, with particular attention to incidental catch of potential sea otter prey and fishery activities that may impact habitat supporting prey, are provided. This information is used to determine the potential impact of the fisheries on prey resources of the SWDPS of the northern sea otter and the potential impacts of the fisheries on the PCEs provided by designated critical habitat. The impacts of the fisheries are so small as to not have a measureable effect on the SWDPS of the northern sea otter, their prey, or designated critical habitat. The effects are therefore insignificant."--Executive summary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Responsible fisheries management is of increasing interest to the scientific community, resource managers, policy makers, stakeholders and the general public. Focusing solely on managing one species of fish stock at a time has become less of a viable option in addressing the problem. Incorporating more holistic considerations into fisheries management by addressing the trade-offs among the range of issues involved, such as ecological principles, legal mandates and the interests of stakeholders, will hopefully challenge and shift the perception that doing ecosystem-based fisheries management is unfeasible. Demonstrating that EBFM is in fact feasible will have widespread impact, both in US and international waters. Using case studies, underlying philosophies and analytical approaches, this book brings together a range of interdisciplinary topics surrounding EBFM and considers these simultaneously, with an aim to provide tools for successful implementation and to further the debate on EBFM, ultimately hoping to foster enhanced living marine resource management.

This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Progress Report on Alaska Fisheries Management and Research, 1957 The Bureau of Commercial Fisheries of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service operates in Alaska under the general authority provided in the Congressional Act of June 18, 1926, commonly called the White Act. This Act states very clearly that its purpose is to pro teet and conserve the fisheries of Alaska. Fbr these purposes the Secretary of the Interior may set apart and reserve fishing areas in Alaska and within such areas may establish closed seasons during which fishing may be eliminated or prohibited as he may prescribe. This authority to limit fishing in any area so set apart and reserved allows the Secretary to (a) fix the size and character of nets, boats, traps, or other gear and appliances to be used therein; (b) limit the catch of fish to be taken from any area; and (0) make such regulations as to time, means, methods, and extent of fishing that he may deem advisable. In accordance with the purposes outlined in the White Act, the administration of the commercial fisheries of Alaska has three principal functions: (1) Tb investigate the status of the fisheries resources and determine by scientific means whether they are yielding the maximum harvest and, if they are not, how this might be done; (2) to trans late the scientific findings into management measures and regulations in order to achieve the maximum sustained yield; and (3) to enforce the fishery laws and regulations which apply in Alaskan waters.
