DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis 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.
