"Magister squid is an underutilized species that not only could provide a source of revenue for dwindling commercial fishermen, but also provide a mechanism to control their predation on other economically important commercial species such as all species of salmon, cod fish, and herring," say the proposals from Richard Yamada and the Juneau-Douglas Advisory Committee.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game is opposed to the proposals.

While board members expressed enthusiasm for a squid fishery, they felt the idea might not be quite ripe with respect to all it would entail and voted 5-2 against Proposal 230.
Here's how they voted:
Carlson-Van Dort — No
Carpenter — No
Chamberlain — No
Godfrey — Yes
Svendsen — No
Wood — No
Zuray — Yes
