Latest version. 
  • 	(a)  The Kodiak Area is  
		(1) an exclusive registration area for Pacific cod during a state-waters season described in 5 AAC 28.467; and  
		(2) a nonexclusive registration area for black rockfish.  
	(b)  A vessel that is registered for the Kodiak Area under 5 AAC 28.020 for a groundfish fishery, other than a state-waters season for Pacific cod described in 5 AAC 28.467 or a directed fishery for black rockfish under this section, also shall be considered registered for that fishery in the Chignik Area described in 5 AAC 28.500, the South Alaska Peninsula Area described in 5 AAC 28.550, the Bering Sea-Aleutian Islands Area described in 5 AAC 28.600, and the Chukchi-Beaufort Area described in 5 AAC 28.700.  
	(c)  A vessel's salmon seine registration is automatically invalidated during the time period described in 5 AAC 28.430(d) when the vessel owner, or the owner's agent, has registered that vessel under 5 AAC 28.020 and this section to take groundfish with seine gear. The vessel's salmon seine registration becomes valid again when the prohibition described in 5 AAC 28.430(d) is not in effect, or when the vessel owner, or the owner's agent, contacts a local representative of the department within the registration area in person or in writing, by mail or facsimile, and invalidates the vessel's groundfish registration.  
	(d)  In the Kodiak Area, before a person uses a vessel to operate gear in a directed fishery for black rockfish, the vessel owner or the owner's agent shall register the vessel for a specific black rockfish district with the department. A vessel validly registered for black rockfish fishing under this subsection may not be registered for a state-waters season or parallel season for Pacific cod at the same time.  
	(e)  Repealed 4/21/2011.
