This book was released on 2002 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herring in Southeast Alaska and Yakutat are harvested in commercial bait, commercial sac roe, commercial spawn-on-kelp, subsistence spawn-on-kelp, and personal use fisheries. Prior to 1967 a reduction fishery accounted for most of the harvest with a historic high of 78,749 tons in 1929. A winter bait fishery has generally occurred every year since the turn of the century. The sac roe fisheries became the dominant fishery beginning in 1971. A wild spawn-on-kelp fishery occurred between 1963 and 1969 with a closed pound fishery authorized by the Board of Fisheries beginning in 1990. During the 2001/2002 season, the total regional commercial harvest of herring and commercial spawn on kelp was 11,509 tons and 171.9 tons, respectively. The sac roe harvest and winter bait fishery totaled 10,854 tons and over 337 tons , respectively. The harvest of 171.9 tons of spawn on kelp produced an exvessel value for the fishery of $2,113,801. Test fisheries conducted in Sitka, West Behm Canal, and Seymour Canal harvested 311 tons of sac roe with an exvessel value of $112,128. Three fresh bait pounds were operated in Southeast Alaska during the 2001-2002 season, resulting in a small harvest near Sitka, and no fishery occurred in Yakutat.

Book excerpt: Pacific herring in Southeast Alaska and Yakutat are harvested for commercial bait, commercial sac roe, commercial spawn-on-kelp, subsistence spawn-on-branches, subsistence spawn-on-kelp, and personal use fisheries and Alaska Department of Fish and Game test fisheries. Prior to 1967, a reduction fishery accounted for most of the commercial harvest with a historic high of 78,749 tons during the 1929/30 season. A winter bait fishery has generally occurred every year since the turn of the century. The sac roe fisheries became the dominant fishery beginning in 1971. A wild spawn-on-kelp fishery occurred between 1963 and 1969, with a closed pound fishery authorized by the Board of Fisheries beginning in 1990. During the most recent completed season of 2016/17 season, the total regional commercial harvest of herring, including estimates of herring used for commercial spawn on kelp, was 15,457 tons. The sac roe harvest totaled 13,923 tons. The commercial harvest of spawn on kelp product was 70 tons, resulting in an estimated 875 tons of herring caught for supplying pounds. Commercial harvest in the winter bait fishery totaled 527 tons. Test fisheries in the region accounted for approximately 133 tons of herring. No herring fishery occurred in the Yakutat area. The management strategy for herring combines a sliding scale harvest rate and minimum biomass threshold to determine allowable harvest levels. Harvest rates may be set between 10% and 20% of forecasted mature biomass, when above threshold, except in Sitka Sound where harvest rates may be set between 12% and 20%.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alaska Herring History is a thoroughly researched, well-documented, and comprehensive chronicle of Alaska’s herring fisheries. Author James Mackovjak describes the evolution of these fisheries from the late nineteenth century to the present, including harvest, processing, markets, and sustained-yield management considerations. The book is divided into three parts based on the purposes for which herring have been harvested. Part I is a history of the reduction (fertilizer/fish meal/fish oil) and cured (salted) herring industries and the bait-herring fisheries; part II is a history of the roe-herring fisheries in Southeast Alaska, Prince William Sound, Kodiak Island, lower Cook Inlet, Togiak, and Norton Sound; and part III is a history of the herring spawn-on-kelp industry. Historical and contemporary photos and illustrations—as well as graphs and charts that help summarize the development and, in some cases, the demise of the fisheries—augment this detailed look at the evolution of Alaska's herring fisheries. Balancing scientific details, historical facts, and personal anecdotes from experts in the field, Alaska Herring History will be of interest to historians, social scientists, biologists, and fishery managers and makes an important contribution to Alaska fisheries literature.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pacific herring in Southeast Alaska and Yakutat are harvested for subsistence, personal use, and commercial purposes. Subsistence products include whole herring and spawn on branches or kelp; commercial fisheries occur for food/bait, sac roe, and spawn on kelp. At times, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game conducts test fisheries for research and cost recovery. Commercial fisheries account for most harvest, which peaked during the reduction fishery in 1929/30 with 78,749 tons. Large-scale reduction fisheries operated during 1890s-1967. A winter bait fishery has generally occurred every year since the turn of the century. The sac roe fishery became the dominant fishery beginning in 1971. A wild spawn-on-kelp fishery occurred between 1963 and 1969, with a closed pound fishery authorized by the Alaska Board of Fisheries beginning in 1990.
