5 AAC 35.116. Tanner crab ring net harvest management policy for Registration Area A

The Registration Area A Tanner crab fishery is to be regulated in a manner that will result in no less than 96 percent of the Tanner crab catch being taken by the pot fishery and no more than four percent by the ring net fishery. This is a long-term management goal and does not require the department to use emergency order authority to achieve the goal within any one season. Based upon the percent of the total harvest taken by ring net fishermen during the general fishing season, the department may restrict the time allowed in the subsequent year's general season to restrain the harvest by ring net fishermen so as not to exceed the four percent guidelines.
