Herring Spawning Surveys in Southeastern Alaska


Book Description

Aerial surveys to observe milt clouds produced by spawning herring in Southeastern Alaska waters hold promise as a method for assessing the extent of spawn deposition. Flights are conducted at altitudes of 500 to 700 feet and at cruising speeds of 120 knots. The mileage of beach utilized for spawning is recorded on reduced prints of navigation charts. The surveys have resulted in the discovery of 80 previously unreported spawning beaches. Observations during these preliminary flights have also added valuable information on the time of spawning and the physical characteristics of the beaches.

Assessment of Spawning Herring and Capelin Stocks at Selected Coastal Areas in the Eastern Bering Sea


Book Description

Presents the results of research on herring in the eastern Bering Sea from March 1978 through September 1979. Although capelin were originally included, the research on those fish stocks along with some data gathering objectives were dropped due to funding constraints. Research objectives include describing and monitoring separate spawning stocks of herring, evaluating their distribution, abundance, and spawning success, and evaluating abundance survey methods. Aerial surveys covered coastal waters from Port Moller to Bering Strait. Shore based studies were carried out at Metervik Bay, Tongue Point, Security Cove, Goodnews Bay, Nelson Island, Cape Romanzof, Cape Denbigh and Grantley Harbor.
