-
(a) The Togiak District herring spawn-on-kelp harvest may not exceed 350,000 pounds. A herring spawn-on-kelp harvest of 350,000 pounds is equivalent to the production from 1,500 short tons of herring. The biomass of herring that produces the equivalent of the herring spawn-on-kelp harvest must be included in the calculation of the exploitation rate on the herring population as specified in 5 AAC 27.865(b)(4). (b) The department shall base an emergency order opening of the Togiak District herring spawn-on-kelp fishery on the density and distribution of observed spawn on kelp. (c) The department shall implement a two- to three-year rotation of harvest areas. (d) The department shall time each herring spawn-on-kelp harvest in order to ensure the best quality product.
