It is unlawful to purchase salmon from which both tips (lobes) of the tail fin have been removed as required by 5 AAC 01.240(c). Possession of salmon taken for subsistence purposes from which both tips (lobes) of the tail fin have not been removed is prima facie evidence that the salmon was taken and possessed for commercial purposes.
