Another big Sitka herring quota

The guideline harvest level for the 2027 Sitka Sound sac roe herring fishery is 28,980 tons, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game announced today.

It's highly unlikely the industry will care to take that much.

This past season, the harvest totaled 6,400 tons on a GHL of 35,015 tons. The fishery was open for 13 days between March 27 and April 10.
