JUSTIFICATION:
The Alaska Board of Fisheries authorized the department to use its emergency order authority to harvest surplus hatchery produced king salmon in terminal harvest areas. Surplus hatchery king salmon are expected to return to the saltwater terminal areas near Whitman Lake, Neets Bay, Deer Mountain, and Tamgas hatcheries. Therefore, the department is increasing the king salmon bag and possession limit to 6 fish, with no size limit. The Southeast King Salmon Management Plan (5 AAC 47.055) authorizes the Department to repeal the nonresident angler annual limit in hatchery terminal harvest areas.
DISTRIBUTION:
The distribution list for this emergency order is on file at the Region I Office of Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Sport Fish, P. O.
