This book was released on 2021 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) Division of Commercial Fisheries manages commercial groundfish fisheries within Prince William Sound Registration Area E (PWS) that includes territorial waters of Alaska from Cape Sucking at 144°00'W long to Cape Fairfield at 148°50.25'W long. Harvests of sablefish Anoplopoma fimbria, walleye pollock Gadus chalcogrammus, lingcod Ophiodon elongates, and Pacific cod Gadus macrocephalus are managed by season for specific guideline harvest levels (GHL). Rockfish species (genera Sebastes and Sebastolobus) are managed collectively as bycatch to other directed fisheries. Miscellaneous groundfish species including flatfish, sharks, and skates, as well as shellfish species including octopus and squid, are also landed incidentally in the directed groundfish fisheries. ADF&G also has management authority of lingcod and black rockfish Sebastes melanops in federal waters of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) from 3 nmi to 200 nmi offshore. The 2019 state-managed groundfish harvest totaled 8.0 million lb. The directed pollock trawl harvest was 6.5 million lb, 99% of the GHL. The total Pacific cod harvest from both parallel and state-waters fisheries was 0.5 million lb, the lowest since 2008 due to the decline in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) stock, associated federal quota, and corresponding GHL. The 2019 directed sablefish harvest of 85,796 lb was 64% of the 134,000 lb GHL, with a steadily increasing trend since the lowest harvest of 16,910 lb in 2015. In 2019, the rockfish harvest retained as bycatch to other directed fisheries was 71,976 lb, well below the historical average and less than half of the GHL, primarily due to the decrease in directed Pacific cod harvest. Lingcod harvest was 26,408 lb in 2019, similar to the historical average. In 2019, walleye pollock generated the highest exvessel value of $897,152, followed by Pacific cod at $266,291, and sablefish at $178,456; all groundfish harvested in PWS had a combined value of $1.4 million.

Harvests of sablefish Anoplopoma fimbria, walleye pollock Gadus chalcogrammus, lingcod Ophiodon elongates, and Pacific cod Gadus macrocephalus are managed on a season basis for specific guideline harvest levels (GHL). Rockfish species (genera Sebastes and Sebastolobus) are managed collectively as bycatch to other directed fisheries. Miscellaneous groundfish species including flatfish, sharks, and skates, as well as shellfish species including octopus and squid, are also landed incidentally to directed groundfish fisheries. ADF&G also has management authority of lingcod and black rockfish Sebastes melanops in federal waters of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) from 3 nmi to 200 nmi offshore. The 2016 state-managed groundfish harvest totaled 8.43 million pounds. The directed pollock trawl harvest was 8.6 million pounds or 72% of the 13.1 million pound GHL. The total Pacific cod harvest from both parallel and state-waters fisheries was 2.3 million pounds, the second largest harvest historically, and the largest harvest in 2015 was 3.3 million pounds. The 2016 directed sablefish harvest of 40,457 pounds was 37% of the 110,823 pound GHL and the second lowest harvest on record, up from the lowest harvest of 16,910 pounds in 2015. In 2016, the rockfish harvest retained as bycatch to other directed fisheries was 161,512 pounds, the highest since 1996 exceeding the 150,000 pound GHL. Lingcod harvest has been low in recent years and 14,093 pounds were harvested in 2016, the lowest harvest since 1999. In 2016, Pacific cod generated the highest exvessel value of $724,158, followed by walleye pollock $629,341, and sablefish $127,101 for a combined value of $1.48 million.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), Division of Commercial Fisheries, manages all commercial groundfish fisheries within the Cook Inlet Area (Registration Area H), defined as all waters of Alaska enclosed by a line extending east from Cape Douglas and a line extending south from Cape Fairfield. Additionally, ADF&G has management authority for lingcod Ophiodon elongatus, black rockfish Sebastes melanops, and dark rockfish S. ciliatus in waters of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ). The area is divided into the Cook Inlet and North Gulf districts. This report summarizes commercial groundfish fisheries within the Cook Inlet Area, including annual harvests from 1988–2022, recent 10-year exvessel values, management and regulatory changes, and harvest trends from 2019 through 2022. A sharp decline in catch and exvessel value that began in 2018 stabilized in 2020. Pacific cod Gadus macrocephalus has contributed the greatest economic yield since 1990. Between 2018 and 2020, a significant reduction in observed Pacific cod abundance and corresponding guideline harvest levels (GHLs) reduced overall harvests and exvessel values. Historically sablefish Anoplopoma fimbria contributed the second-highest annual exvessel value since 2000, but between 2019 and 2022 sablefish exvessel value was only second highest 2 out of the 4 years. Rockfish harvest has continued to be stable but at nearly a third of the static 150,000 lb GHL, partly a result of lower Pacific cod GHLs. Beginning in 2017, lingcod harvest has been within 10% of the lingcod GHL, with the 2021 harvest being a notable exception. Lingcod exvessel value has remained strong accounting for the second-highest annual exvessel value in both 2020 and 2022. Incidental catch of Walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma is small and variable. Skates harvested as bycatch to longline fisheries continue to provide additional harvest and value.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), Division of Commercial Fisheries, manages all commercial groundfish fisheries within the Cook Inlet Area (Registration Area H), defined as territorial waters from the shoreline to 3 nautical miles (nmi) offshore located west of Cape Fairfield and north of the latitude of Cape Douglas. The area is divided into the Cook Inlet and North Gulf districts. Additionally, ADF&G has management authority for lingcod Ophiodon elongatus, black rockfish Sebastes melanops, and dark rockfish S. ciliatus in waters of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) located adjacent to the Cook Inlet Area from 3 nmi offshore. This report summarizes annual harvests and exvessel values for commercial groundfish fisheries during 1988-2018, management changes for 2016-2018, and recent regulatory changes. During 2018, Cook Inlet Area commercial groundfish harvests totaled 1.5 million lb and generated an estimated exvessel value of $924,473, the lowest harvest and value since the early 1990s. Pacific cod Gadus macrocephalus has contributed the greatest economic yield since 1990; however, in 2018, the Pacific cod population in the Gulf of Alaska took a major downturn leading to a 77% reduction in guideline harvest levels (GHLs) with reductions in harvest and revenue. Sablefish Anoplopoma fimbria has the second highest annual exvessel value since 2000 due to a high price per pound but 2018 was the lowest harvest since 1995 and the lowest exvessel value since 1998. Rockfish harvest in 2018 was half of the harvest in 2017, partly a result of lower target fishery Pacific cod GHLs. Lingcod harvest increased along with its value in 2017, and again in 2018 to nearly 50,000 lb and over $54,000 in 2018, which was the highest value in the history of the fishery. Walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma harvest was less than 2,000 lb harvested as bycatch.

Book excerpt: This report summarizes 2020 harvest, effort, and management of commercial state-waters and parallel groundfish fisheries managed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) in the Kodiak, Chignik, and South Alaska Peninsula Areas. Principal state-waters fisheries include Pacific cod Gadus macrocephalus and black rockfish Sebastes melanops. The 2020 harvest of Pacific cod during state-waters fisheries totaled 4.55 million pounds from 73 vessels, with an estimated exvessel value of $1.91 million. Black rockfish harvested in the Kodiak Area jig fisheries totaled 117,306 pounds from 12 vessels with an estimated exvessel value of $92,672. Black rockfish harvested in Chignik Area and the South Alaska Peninsula Eastern District are confidential. During parallel fisheries, Af&G adopts most season dates, bycatch limits, area closures, and allowable gear types established by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for federal fisheries that occur in the adjacent exclusive economic zone. Walleye pollock Gadus chalcogrammus and Pacific cod are the predominant species harvested during parallel fisheries. NMFS prohibited all directed federal fishing for Pacific cod in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) during 2020; therefore, there was no parallel season for Pacific cod. State-waters Pacific cod guideline harvest levels (GHLs) were reduced by 35% to provide opportunity for limited fisheries in state waters while recognizing the need for conservative fishery management at current low Pacific cod stock levels.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes reported catch and effort information and management actions for Southeast Alaska and Yakutat groundfish fisheries managed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game in the Eastern Gulf of Alaska Area, with updated information for the period 2014-2017. The department manages groundfish caught in directed and bycatch fisheries and all references to harvest, landings, or removals are specific to commercial fisheries, unless otherwise noted. State-managed directed fisheries during this period targeted: sablefish (Anoploploma fimbria), demersal shelf rockfish (DSR) (Sebastes spp.), black rockfish (Sebastes melanops), lingcod (Ophiodon elongatus), and Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus). The state is also responsible for management of lingcod, DSR, and black, blue (Sebastes mystinus), deacon (Sebastes diaconus), and dark (Sebastes ciliatus) rockfish in federal waters. The average annual catch of groundfish in Southeast Alaska was 2.6 million round lb with an annual estimated ex-vessel value of $5.9 million. Catch includes fish discarded at-sea for species with high mortality after capture, all Sebastes and Sebastolobus rockfishes (demersal shelf, pelagic shelf, slope, and black rockfishes) and Pacific cod. All other groundfish catch numbers reflect landings only. The 2017 catch only includes landings through October. Sablefish accounted for 76-80% of the exvessel value of groundfish in Southeast Alaska during this reporting period. In addition to landings in groundfish and halibut fisheries, an annual average of 49,635 round lb of groundfish, primarily lingcod and black rockfish, were landed in salmon troll fisheries and 112,698 round lb of groundfish, primarily sablefish, were landed in surveys (test fish fisheries) conducted by the department and the International Pacific Halibut Commission during this reporting period.
