a State-managed harvests include directed fishery catch and bycatch recorded on fish tickets. The state manages some groundfish species both in state waters within 3 miles from shore and in the exclusive economic zone out to 200 miles. These species include black rockfish off of SEAK, PWS, Kodiak, Chignik, and the Alaska Peninsula; demersal shelf rockfish in the Eastern Gulf of Alaska Area; and lingcod in all areas. Harvests may include catch from test fisheries or confiscated catch that may not be considered part of the fishery quota or guideline harvest for purposes of managing the fishery. Harvests in state waters during parallel seasons (when adjacent waters of the EEZ are open for groundfish fishing for the same species, under similar management regulations) are not included. Halibut and bycatch of halibut are not included. b The price/pound is based on a combination of exvessel prices from the 2008 Commercial Operators Annual Report and Area Staff Calculations. c Demersal shelf rockfish are managed as an assemblage of canary, China, copper, quillback, rosethorn, tiger, & yelloweye (red snapper) rockfish.
