This project monitors age, size, and sex characteristics of Pacific halibut Hippoglossus stenolepis and rockfish species Sebastes spp, and biological data from other groundfish species landed by sport anglers at four strategically selected ports in Southeast Alaska. Data will be combined with catch, harvest and effort estimates and biological data from Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s Southeast Alaska Marine Harvest Studies program and the Alaska Sport Fishing Survey to assess trends, evaluate changes in stock status, and design regulations that protect stocks and provide for long-term sustained yield. This project will support dockside sampling by the Marine Harvest Studies program in Southeast Alaska to collect otoliths and other biological data from harvested Pacific halibut and black rockfish Sebastes melanops, and species composition of harvested rockfish, from charter and unguided saltwater boat anglers. Estimates of species composition (rockfish), age composition and average weight captured from this project will be combined with charter logbook and Alaska Sport Fishing Survey harvest and release information for SEAK to estimate biomass of recreational fishing mortality of Pacific halibut and demersal shelf rockfish for all relevant management units in Southeast Alaska. Data will be shared with the International Pacific Halibut Commission, the National Marine Fisheries Service, the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council, the Alaska Board of Fisheries, and the public. Survey areas sampled will include Elfin Cove, Sitka, Craig, and Ketchikan.
The Gulf of Alaska bottomfish port sampling project monitors age, size, and sex characteristics of Pacific halibut, several rockfish species, lingcod, and a few other species landed by sport anglers at the major ports in Southcentral Alaska. Data will be combined with harvest and effort estimates from Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s Statewide Sport Fish Harvest survey as well as Charter Logbook data to assess trends, evaluate changes in stock status, and design regulations that protect stocks and provide for long-term sustained yield. Data will be shared with the International Pacific Halibut Commission, the National Marine Fisheries Service, the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council, the Alaska Board of Fisheries, and the public. Survey areas will include Kodiak, Homer, Deep Creek, Seward, Whittier, and Valdez.
Marine boat sport anglers throughout Southeast Alaska target and harvest Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, coho salmon O. kisutch, Pacific halibut Hippoglossus stenolepis, lingcod Ophiodon elongatus, a variety of rockfish species Sebastes spp., and sablefish Anoploploma fimbria primarily during April to September. Angler effort, catch, and harvest data will be collected from late April to early September from returning marine boat anglers at the following ports: Yakutat, Elfin Cove, Gustavus, Juneau, Sitka, Petersburg, Wrangell, Ketchikan, Craig, and Klawock. Harvest sampling will be used to collect biological samples and associated data to estimate the age, length, and genetic composition of the Chinook salmon harvest, and Chinook and coho salmon will be inspected for missing adipose fins, indicating the head should be removed to recover a coded wire tag. Contributions of hatchery and wild coded-wire-tagged stocks (both Chinook and coho salmon) to the sport harvest will be estimated for all sampled ports, and the wild mature component of the Chinook salmon harvest in Division of Commercial Fisheries Salmon District 108 (Petersburg-Wrangell) and District 111 (Juneau) will also be estimated. Biological data from harvested Pacific halibut (lengths), lingcod (lengths and sex), and rockfish (lengths) will be collected from guided and unguided marine boat anglers. The length data will be converted via established species-specific, length-weight relationships to estimate average weights by species and angler type.

The Draft EIS provides decision-makers and the public with an evaluation of the environmental, social, and economic effects of alternative harvest strategies for the federally managed groundfish fisheries in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) and the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI). The EIS examines alternative harvest strategies that comply with Federal regulations, the Fishery Management Plans for the GOA and BSAI groundfish fisheries, and the Magnuson-Stevens Act. The harvest strategies are applied to the best available scientific information to derive the total allowable catch for the groundfish fisheries.

The sport shrimp fishery in Southeast Alaska has a permit and reporting requirement, which requires users to report on the location, effort, and harvest of their sets. The objectives of this project is to estimate effort and harvest in the sport shrimp fishery of Southeast Alaska.
