Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subsistence fishery for the spawn of Pacific herring Clupea pallasii in Sitka Sound was historically, and remains, important to Alaska residents. Alaska Department of Fish and Game Division of Subsistence research on the contemporary subsistence fishery reveals that harvesting herring spawn is a specialized activity in which a relatively small number of Southeast Alaska residents harvest and distribute herring spawn widely. Annual subsistence harvest monitoring surveys began in 2002 in response to concerns from subsistence harvesters that the commercial sac roe herring fishery was negatively affecting subsistence harvesting success. This report presents the results of the 20th annual harvest survey conducted in Sitka and neighboring communities in 2021. The survey generated data used to calculate estimates of the subsistence harvest of herring spawn on various substrates, including hemlock branches, kelp, and other seaweed in Sitka Sound. The most recent 10-year average annual harvest (2011–2020) was 78,846 pounds. In 2021, an estimated total of 46,950 pounds of herring spawn was harvested; this level of harvest was more than double the estimated harvest of 2020 but still ranked among the lowest estimated harvests over the course of the project. Approximately 92% of the harvest was shared with other households within Sitka or in other communities in the state and beyond.

Harvesting herring spawn is a specialized subsistence activity in which a relatively small number of Southeast Alaska residents harvest and distribute herring spawn widely throughout the state and beyond to relatives and other social relations. Annual subsistence harvest monitoring surveys began in 2002 in response to concerns from subsistence harvesters that the commercial sac roe herring fishery was negatively affecting subsistence harvesting success. This report presents the results of the 21st annual harvest survey conducted with households that harvest subsistence herring eggs in Sitka Sound. The survey generated data used to calculate estimates of the subsistence harvest of herring spawn on various substrates, including hemlock branches, kelp, and other seaweed in Sitka Sound. The most recent 10-year average (2012–2021) estimated annual harvest was 75,197 pounds. In 2022, an estimated total of 135,231 pounds of herring spawn was harvested; this level of harvest was nearly three times the estimated harvest of 2021 and is the largest estimated harvest since 2014. A combination of factors, including effort, the location of spawning activity, the quality of spawn deposition, and opportunity to fulfill latent need for herring spawn, contributed to the higher estimated harvest. Approximately 96% of the harvest was shared with other households within Sitka or in other communities in the state and beyond.
