Section 5 AAC 29.065 - Allocation of coho salmon

The historical harvest allocation (1969 - 1988) of coho salmon in the Southeastern Alaska and Yakutat commercial salmon fisheries is 19 percent purse seine, 13 percent drift gillnet, seven percent set gillnet, and 61 percent troll. While these percentages may vary from season to season, given fluctuations in salmon abundance and the distribution and limitations of fisheries management, the department shall manage the fishery to maintain these allocation guidelines over the long-term. In that management the department

(1) may not disrupt any of the traditional commercial fisheries upon which this historical allocation is founded;

(2) may make inseason adjustments to attempt to achieve these historical harvest allocation guidelines.
