Current through August 30, 2024
(a) If the department has adequate information, and if department management programs are in place, the department may manage commercial herring sac roe fisheries, to enhance the value of the landed product as follows:
(1) fishing periods may be established by
emergency order in areas and during times when sampling has demonstrated, or
when other factors indicate, that the herring roe content of the catch is
likely to be highest;
(2) fishing
periods may be established by emergency order in areas and during times when
sampling has demonstrated, or when other factors indicate, that the catch is
composed of the maximum average size of herring available for the
stock;
(3) in a preseason
management plan, the department shall specify the particular herring fisheries
that are to be managed to enhance the value of the landed product.
(b) The department may modify herring sac roe fishing periods and areas to minimize the harvest of recruit-sized herring during the conduct of a sac roe fishery that targets post-recruit herring.
