The Alaska Department
of Fish and Game issues a limited number of Commercial Fishing Permits.
These Permits can be bought and sold as you would any other real
property. They can be (and often are) willed to the next generation.
This limited entry program is one of the many ways the State of Alaska
keeps the balance between the economic needs of fishermen and the State,
and the sustainability of the salmon run. Commercial Drift
Fishermen are entitled to fish nets that measure 150 fathoms long, the
length of 3 football fields and 29 meshes deep, about 12'. Set net fishermen only get 50 fathom one football field in length. but can fish and own two permits.
In Bristol Bay the
average yearly salmon run ranges from 40-50 million Sockeye salmon.
10-15 million Sockeye will reach their , grounds.
The Alaska
Department of Fish and Game continuously monitors the run and sets
Commercial Fishing openers as daily spawning escapement intervals are
met.
