Section 80. Harvest strategy

5 AAC 34.080. Harvest strategy

The department shall establish an annual harvest strategy for each king crab stock which is consistent with the board's policy statement on king crab resource management, 90-04-FB, March 23, 1990, hereby adopted by reference. If adequate data are available, the department shall establish a threshold level of abundance and shall close the fishery during the entire fishing season on any stock that is below its threshold level of abundance. Data used to determine guideline harvest levels and, if appropriate, exploitation rates, may include estimates of exploitable biomass, estimates of recruitment, estimates of threshold, estimates of accepted biological catch, historical fishery performance data, estimates of reproductive potential, and market or other economic considerations. The department may not change current harvest strategies without review by the board, except for those changes already permitted by 5 AAC 34.035.
