This book was released on 2017 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Fishery Science written by Lee A. Fuiman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-02-12 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now clear that data based on the studies of fish eggs and larvae make a number of unique contributions to fishery science that are crucial for accurate assessment and management of fish populations, including those of commercially important fisheries. This valuable book demonstrates why fish eggs and larvae are important, how the characteristics of early life stages require a somewhat different research approach and how information on early life stages can be applied and interpreted to yield unique insights into fish populations. The editors of Fishery Science have drawn together an extremely useful and well-written book with contributions from internationally respected researchers from North America, Asia and Europe. Chapters include a discussion of the unique nature of early life stages, age and growth, mortality, recruitment, populations analysis, habitats, human impacts and management. A carefully selected set of case studies demonstrates several specific applications of early life history information to a number of fishery problems. Fishery Science was designed to complement existing textbooks and is an essential purchase for all fisheries students and professionals, and for biologists working on the early life stages of fish. This exciting book is also of great value to ecologists, marine, freshwater and environmental scientists, populations biologists and oceanographers. All libraries in universities and research establishments where biological and fishery science are studied and taught should have copies of this book available on their shelves.
