Book excerpt: The State of Alaska manages herring stocks throughout the Southeast Alaska region to provide for harvests in both subsistence and commercial fisheries. Fisheries are allowed when herring stocks have met threshold levels of abundance and in accordance with harvest rate policies adopted by the Alaska Board of Fisheries. Commercial herring fisheries include set gillnet and purse seine sac roe fisheries, spawn-on-kelp pound fisheries, winter food and bait fisheries, and fresh bait pound fisheries. Sac roe and spawn-on-kelp fisheries are regulated as limited entry fisheries. This report reviews management activities and actions taken to provide for these fisheries during the 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 winter food and bait and bait pound seasons and the spring 2011 and 2012 sac roe and spawn-on-kelp seasons. Prior to the 2009 season herring annual management report, management summaries were included in triennial reports to the Alaska Board of Fisheries which focused on herring stock assessments.
