This worksheet was prepared for the Alaska Board of Fisheries as background for consideration of changes to the noncommercial harvest regulations for crabs in the Prince William Sound management area of Alaska, with a primary focus on the communities of Chenega Bay, Cordova, Tatitlek, Valdez, and Whittier. It presents the eight criteria that the Board of Fisheries is required to consider under Joint Board of Fisheries and Game regulations (5 AAC 99.010) in order to identify fish stocks that are customarily and traditionally taken or used by Alaska residents for subsistence uses.
