Section 5.01.530. Subsistence fishing permits.

	(a)  A subsistence fishing permit is required for taking salmon, trout, char, and herring for subsistence purposes.  
	(b)  The annual limit for a subsistence salmon fishing permit holder is as follows:  
		(1) in the fresh waters of Kodiak Island, east of a line from Crag Point south to the westernmost point of Saltery Cove, including the waters of Woody and Long Islands, and the salt waters bordering this area within one mile of Kodiak Island, excluding the waters bordering Spruce Island, 25 salmon for the permit holder plus an additional 25 salmon for each member of the same household whose names are listed on the permit; an additional permit may be obtained if it can be shown that more fish are needed;  
		(2) in the remainder of the Kodiak Area not described in (1) of this subsection, there is no annual limit.  
	(c)  A subsistence permit holder shall record the number, or if for herring, the number of pounds, of subsistence fish taken by that subsistence permit holder each year as described in this subsection. The subsistence permit holder shall record all harvested fish on the permit, in ink, before concealing the fish from plain view or transporting the fish from the fishing site. The subsistence permit holder must return the permit to the local representative of the department by February 1 of the year following the year the permit was issued. For the purposes of this subsection, "fishing site" means the location where the fish is removed from the water and becomes part of the permit holder's limit.  
	(d)  A subsistence herring fishing permit holder may take no more than 500 pounds of herring in a calendar year.
