King salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) are highly sought after by sport anglers and the commercial fishing industry in Southeast Alaska (SEAK). Fisheries management for the species is complex and involves international and domestic allocations, sustainable Alaska wild stock management objectives and providing opportunity for Alaska hatchery-produced king salmon. The SEAK all-gear catch limit is established under the U.S.–Canada Pacific Salmon Treaty (PST) while the Alaska Board of Fisheries (board) allocates domestic shares to the various SEAK fisheries. The Pacific Salmon Treaty was renegotiated in 2018 resulting in a new 10-year agreement covering years 2019 to 2028 which included several changes impacting Alaskan king salmon fisheries. These changes in the PST required the board to modify the Southeast Alaska King Salmon Management Plan (KSMP) which was accomplished outside of a typical board cycle in 2019. The board has received nine proposals for consideration at the 2022 SEAK board meeting which, if adopted, would modify management of the king salmon sport fishery in SEAK. The management of the sport fishery has been guided by the KSMP which has been revised several times since first adoption in 1992. The sport harvest of king salmon in SEAK has averaged 58,103 between 2010 and 2019. During this same time, sport harvest has averaged 20.7% of the sport/troll allocation of the SEAK all-gear catch limit, slightly above the target allocation of 20%. Nonresident harvest of king salmon has averaged 65% of the total sport harvest (2010-2019). The outer coast sport fisheries of Sitka and Prince of Wales Island harvest 60% of the total king salmon harvest (2010-2019). Alaska hatchery-produced king salmon contribute a larger percentage of the total king salmon catch in the inside coast sport fisheries of Haines/Skagway, Juneau, Petersburg/Wrangell, and Ketchikan compared to the outer coast fisheries.

This report presents a plan for a continuing harvest assessment program for subsistence hunting, fishing, and gathering for 11 rural communities (Ambler, Buckland, Deering, Kiana, Kivalina, Kobuk, Kotzebue, Noatak, Noorvik, Selawik, Shungnak) in Northwest Alaska. The program involves a cooperative group of state and federal agencies, tribes, communities, non-governmental organizations, and industries. The program provides a framework for subsistence harvest assessment through periodic household surveys, and seeks to integrate other subsistence-related studies whenever possible. The program was intended to be an evolution of, not a break from, previous harvest assessment efforts in Northwest Alaska.

Currently there are no overarching management or assessment strategies for black rockfish Sebastes melanops or yelloweye rockfish S. ruberrimus across the Gulf of Alaska. Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s management of these species has been largely area- or region-specific and management has not been well coordinated across fishery divisions. Guideline harvest levels are used for managing commercial fisheries; however, these are applied to management areas rather than populations and are primarily based on levels of historical harvest. Sport fisheries are managed to constrain harvest levels (e.g., bag limits), but typically without an adequate understanding of how those harvest levels translate to exploitation rates of populations. Because rockfish are known to be particularly vulnerable to exploitation, and harvests are believed to be increasing in recent years, proactive measures are needed to ensure long term sustainability of these fisheries. In 2017, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game initiated an interdivisional, statewide initiative focused on developing long-term management and assessment strategies for these 2 species. This report describes the need to develop comprehensive management strategies for black and yelloweye rockfishes, provides information on the basic biology and ecology of each species, and summarizes historical and current management and assessment throughout the Gulf of Alaska. This report also summarizes progress to date to develop sustainable management strategies, including the outcomes of multiple workshops attended by management and research staff involved in rockfish fisheries. The goal of the workshops and future efforts is to develop long-term collaborative management strategies that support stable populations and sustainable black and yelloweye rockfishfisheries across the Gulf of Alaska.

Excerpt from Progress Report on Alaska Fisheries Management and Research, 1957 The Bureau of Commercial Fisheries of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service operates in Alaska under the general authority provided in the Congressional Act of June 18, 1926, commonly called the White Act. This Act states very clearly that its purpose is to pro teet and conserve the fisheries of Alaska. Fbr these purposes the Secretary of the Interior may set apart and reserve fishing areas in Alaska and within such areas may establish closed seasons during which fishing may be eliminated or prohibited as he may prescribe. This authority to limit fishing in any area so set apart and reserved allows the Secretary to (a) fix the size and character of nets, boats, traps, or other gear and appliances to be used therein; (b) limit the catch of fish to be taken from any area; and (0) make such regulations as to time, means, methods, and extent of fishing that he may deem advisable. In accordance with the purposes outlined in the White Act, the administration of the commercial fisheries of Alaska has three principal functions: (1) Tb investigate the status of the fisheries resources and determine by scientific means whether they are yielding the maximum harvest and, if they are not, how this might be done; (2) to trans late the scientific findings into management measures and regulations in order to achieve the maximum sustained yield; and (3) to enforce the fishery laws and regulations which apply in Alaskan waters.
