Book excerpt: The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) Division of Commercial Fisheries manages commercial groundfish fisheries within Prince William Sound Registration Area E (PWS) that includes territorial waters of Alaska from Cape Sucking at 144°00'W long to Cape Fairfield at 148°50.25'W long. Harvests of sablefish Anoplopoma fimbria, walleye pollock Gadus chalcogrammus, lingcod Ophiodon elongates, and Pacific cod Gadus macrocephalus are managed on a season basis for specific guideline harvest levels (GHL). Rockfish species (genera Sebastes and Sebastolobus) are managed collectively as bycatch to other directed fisheries. Miscellaneous groundfish species including flatfish, sharks, and skates, as well as shellfish species including octopus and squid, are also landed incidentally to directed groundfish fisheries. ADF&G also has management authority of lingcod and black rockfish Sebastes melanops in federal waters of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) from 3 nmi to 200 nmi offshore. The 2016 state-managed groundfish harvest totaled 8.43 million pounds. The directed pollock trawl harvest was 8.6 million pounds or 72% of the 13.1 million pound GHL. The total Pacific cod harvest from both parallel and state-waters fisheries was 2.3 million pounds, the second largest harvest historically, and the largest harvest in 2015 was 3.3 million pounds. The 2016 directed sablefish harvest of 40,457 pounds was 37% of the 110,823 pound GHL and the second lowest harvest on record, up from the lowest harvest of 16,910 pounds in 2015. In 2016, the rockfish harvest retained as bycatch to other directed fisheries was 161,512 pounds, the highest since 1996 exceeding the 150,000 pound GHL. Lingcod harvest has been low in recent years and 14,093 pounds were harvested in 2016, the lowest harvest since 1999. In 2016, Pacific cod generated the highest exvessel value of $724,158, followed by walleye pollock $629,341, and sablefish $127,101 for a combined value of $1.48 million.

Book excerpt: The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) Division of Commercial Fisheries manages commercial groundfish fisheries within Prince William Sound Registration Area E (PWS) that includes territorial waters of Alaska from Cape Sucking at 144°00'W long to Cape Fairfield at 148°50.25'W long. Harvests of sablefish Anoplopoma fimbria, walleye pollock Gadus chalcogrammus, lingcod Ophiodon elongates, and Pacific cod Gadus macrocephalus are managed by season for specific guideline harvest levels (GHL). Rockfish species (genera Sebastes and Sebastolobus) are managed collectively as bycatch to other directed fisheries. Miscellaneous groundfish species including flatfish, sharks, and skates, as well as shellfish species including octopus and squid, are also landed incidentally in the directed groundfish fisheries. ADF&G also has management authority of lingcod and black rockfish Sebastes melanops in federal waters of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) from 3 nmi to 200 nmi offshore. The 2019 state-managed groundfish harvest totaled 8.0 million lb. The directed pollock trawl harvest was 6.5 million lb, 99% of the GHL. The total Pacific cod harvest from both parallel and state-waters fisheries was 0.5 million lb, the lowest since 2008 due to the decline in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) stock, associated federal quota, and corresponding GHL. The 2019 directed sablefish harvest of 85,796 lb was 64% of the 134,000 lb GHL, with a steadily increasing trend since the lowest harvest of 16,910 lb in 2015. In 2019, the rockfish harvest retained as bycatch to other directed fisheries was 71,976 lb, well below the historical average and less than half of the GHL, primarily due to the decrease in directed Pacific cod harvest. Lingcod harvest was 26,408 lb in 2019, similar to the historical average. In 2019, walleye pollock generated the highest exvessel value of $897,152, followed by Pacific cod at $266,291, and sablefish at $178,456; all groundfish harvested in PWS had a combined value of $1.4 million.

Download or read book Alaska Codfish Chronicle written by James Mackovjak and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cod is one of the most widely consumed fish in the world. For many years, the Atlantic cod industry took center stage, but partly thanks to climate change and overfishing, it is more and more likely that the cod on your kitchen table or in your fast food fish fillets came from Alaska’s Pacific Cod Fishery. Alaska Codfish Chronicle is the first comprehensive history of this fishery. It looks at the early decades of the fishery’s history, a period marked by hardship and danger, as well as the dominance of foreign fishermen. And the modern era, beginning in 1976 when the United States claimed an exclusive economic zone around the Alaska coasts, “Americanizing” the fishery and replacing the foreign fleets that had been ravaging the resources in the Gulf of Alaska and the Bering Sea. Today, the Pacific cod fishery is, in terms of poundage, the second largest fishery in Alaska, and considered among the best-managed fisheries in the world. This history is extremely well documented, does not spare details, and is accessible to general readers. It incorporates nearly a hundred photographs and illustrations and is sprinkled with numerous observations from fishing industry journals and reports, even incorporating poems and recipes, making this an especially thorough and unique account of one of Alaska’s most iconic and important industries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), Division of Commercial Fisheries, manages all commercial groundfish fisheries within the Cook Inlet Area (Registration Area H), defined as territorial waters from the shoreline to 3 nautical miles (nmi) offshore located west of Cape Fairfield and north of the latitude of Cape Douglas. The area is divided into the Cook Inlet and North Gulf districts. Additionally, ADF&G has management authority for lingcod Ophiodon elongatus, black rockfish Sebastes melanops, and dark rockfish S. ciliatus in waters of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) located adjacent to the Cook Inlet Area from 3 nmi offshore. This report summarizes annual harvests, and exvessel values for commercial groundfish fisheries during 1988--2015, management changes for 2012--2015, and recent regulatory changes based upon Alaska Board of Fisheries actions. Important groundfish fisheries are discussed in specific sections of this report. During 2015, Cook Inlet Area commercial groundfish harvests totaled 5.8 million lb and generated an estimated exvessel value of $2.2 million, the second largest harvest since 1999 and the third highest value to date. Pacific cod Gadus macrocephalus has contributed the greatest economic yield since 1990 and, in 2015, exvessel value was nearly $2 million, the third highest value to date from the second largest harvest of nearly 5.5 million lb. Sablefish Anoplopoma fimbria has generated the second highest annual exvessel value since 2000 due to a high dockside price per pound, although 2015 marked the lowest harvest since 1995, and the lowest value since 1998. Rockfish harvest doubled in 2015 from 2014, after 10 years of low harvests, while lingcod harvest dropped to the lowest level since 1989. Walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma harvest increased to the highest levels since 2004 due to more jig participation in 2013 and a commissioner's permit seine fishery implemented in 2014.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), Division of Commercial Fisheries, manages all commercial groundfish fisheries within the Cook Inlet Area (Registration Area H), defined as all waters of Alaska enclosed by a line extending east from Cape Douglas and a line extending south from Cape Fairfield. Additionally, ADF&G has management authority for lingcod Ophiodon elongatus, black rockfish Sebastes melanops, and dark rockfish S. ciliatus in waters of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ). The area is divided into the Cook Inlet and North Gulf districts. This report summarizes commercial groundfish fisheries within the Cook Inlet Area, including annual harvests from 1988–2022, recent 10-year exvessel values, management and regulatory changes, and harvest trends from 2019 through 2022. A sharp decline in catch and exvessel value that began in 2018 stabilized in 2020. Pacific cod Gadus macrocephalus has contributed the greatest economic yield since 1990. Between 2018 and 2020, a significant reduction in observed Pacific cod abundance and corresponding guideline harvest levels (GHLs) reduced overall harvests and exvessel values. Historically sablefish Anoplopoma fimbria contributed the second-highest annual exvessel value since 2000, but between 2019 and 2022 sablefish exvessel value was only second highest 2 out of the 4 years. Rockfish harvest has continued to be stable but at nearly a third of the static 150,000 lb GHL, partly a result of lower Pacific cod GHLs. Beginning in 2017, lingcod harvest has been within 10% of the lingcod GHL, with the 2021 harvest being a notable exception. Lingcod exvessel value has remained strong accounting for the second-highest annual exvessel value in both 2020 and 2022. Incidental catch of Walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma is small and variable. Skates harvested as bycatch to longline fisheries continue to provide additional harvest and value.
