Universal Citation: 5 AK Admin Code 02.610

Current through August 30, 2024

In the subsistence taking of shrimp, there is no closed season and no daily bag and possession limits, except that the operator of a commercially licensed and registered shrimp fishing vessel used in the subsistence taking of shrimp during a closed commercial shrimp fishing season or within a closed commercial shrimp fishing district, section, or portion of a fishing district or section,

(1) shall, before taking shrimp, obtain a subsistence fishing permit from the department that specifies the area and the date the vessel operator intends to subsistence fish; and

(2) may not possess more than 500 pounds of shrimp on board the vessel.

At its February 23 - 27, 1993 meeting, the Board of Fisheries readopted 5 AAC 02.610 in its entirety without change, under ch. 1, SSSLA 1992 (the 1992 subsistence law), which repealed and reenacted AS 16.05.258.
