- (a) This management plan distributes the harvest of hatchery-produced king salmon in the Carroll Inlet Terminal Harvest Area between the purse seine, troll and drift gillnet fleets.
- (b) The department, in consultation with the Southern Southeast Regional Aquaculture Association (SSRAA), shall, by emergency order, manage the Carroll Inlet Terminal Harvest Area from June 1 through July 1 to provide for the harvest of hatchery-produced king salmon by troll, purse seine, and drift gillnet gear. The Carroll Inlet Terminal Harvest Area consists of the waters of Carroll Inlet north of the latitude of Nigelius Point at 55° 33.50' N. lat., 131° 21.14' W. long.
- (c) A drift gillnet operated in the terminal harvest area may not exceed 200 fathoms in length.
- (d) Instead of allowing the harvest of hatchery-produced king salmon for cost recovery by the hatchery permit holder, the commissioner may, after consultation with the hatchery operator, by emergency order, open a joint common property and cost recovery assessment fishery for king salmon as specified in AS 16.10.455 to occur only in the waters as described in (b) of this section.
