This report emphasizes a descriptive account of the information, decisions, and rationale used to manage the Bristol Bay commercial salmon (sockeye Oncorhynchus nerka, Chinook O. tshawytscha, chum O. keta, pink O. gorbuscha, and coho O. kisutch) and Pacific herring Clupea pallasi fisheries, and outlines basic management objectives and procedures. We have included all information deemed necessary to fully explain the rationale behind management decisions formulated in 2008. All narrative and data tabulations in this volume are combined in two sections, salmon followed by herring, to aid in the use of this document as a reference source. The extensive set of tables has been updated to record previously unlisted data for easy reference. Fisheries data in this report supersedes information in previous reports.

The 2008 Yukon and Northern Area management report summarizes management activities of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Commercial Fisheries in the Yukon and Northern Areas of Alaska. The report provides the status of Yukon Area salmon stocks (Chinook Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, coho O. kisutch, summer chum and fall chum O. keta) in 2008; provides data on the utilization of salmon species by commercial, subsistence, personal use, and sport fisheries; and presents an outlook for the 2009 fishing season. Alaska and Canada fisheries are summarized because the Yukon River is a transboundary river. Fisheries data in this report supersedes information in previous annual management reports. Some data are preliminary and may be presented with minor differences in future reports. The Yukon Area report is organized into 4 sections: 1) Salmon Fishery: a description of the Yukon Area, fishery resources and fisheries management practices, including a comprehensive report of the 2008 Yukon Area salmon fisheries, by summer and fall season, which makes comparisons to previous years, 2) Cape Romanzof District Herring Fishery: a description of the area, fisheries, management practices, and summary of the 2008 herring fishery, 3) Other Marine and Freshwater Finfish Fisheries: a description of the fishery resources and freshwater finfish fisheries other than salmon and herring, and 4) Northern Area: a description of the area and documentation of the Colville River commercial freshwater finfish fishery.
