Book Description
The Policy for the Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (SSFP; 5 AAC 39.222) directs the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (department) to assess salmon stocks during Alaska Board of Fisheries (board) regulatory cycles, to identify stocks of concern and to reassess the stock of concern status for stocks previously designated. In 2000, the board classified Norton Sound Subdistricts 2 and 3 chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta as a stock of yield concern. An action plan was developed for these stocks by the department and acted upon by the board in January 2001. Subdistricts 2 and 3 chum salmon have maintained yield concern classification throughout subsequent board cycles. Subdistricts 2 and 3 chum salmon runs have improved during the last five years and the department recommended discontinuing Norton Sound Subdistricts 2 and 3 chum salmon as a yield concern during the board work session in October 2018.
