Alaska Department of Fish and Game Stocks of Concern Summary from 2000-2017

During the 2000-2001 Alaska Board of Fisheries meeting cycle, the board adopted into regulation the Policy for the Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (SSFP; 5 AAC 39.222, effective 2000, amended 2001) and the Policy for Statewide Salmon Escapement Goals (EGP; 5 AAC 39.223). The Policy for the Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries directs the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) to provide the Alaska Board of Fisheries with reports on the status of salmon stocks and identify any salmon stock that present a concern. In consultation with ADF&G, the Board may designate, amend, or discontinue Stocks of Concern based on stock status reports and recommendations from ADF&G. The SSFP defines three levels of concern (Conservation, Management, and Yield) with yield being the lowest level of concern and conservation the highest level of concern. The issue of salmon stocks of concern arose several times during the 2016-2017 Alaska Board of Fisheries meeting cycle. At the end of the cycle the board requested the Alaska Department of Fish and Game provide them with a synopsis of stock of concern determinations, including reasons for stock of concern designation and the timing and justification for removal from the stock of concern list.

在2000-2001年阿拉斯加渔业委员会（Alaska Board of Fisheries）会议周期内，委员会将《可持续鲑鱼渔业管理政策》（Policy for the Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries，SSFP；5 AAC 39.222，2000年生效，2001年修订）及《全州鲑鱼逃逸目标政策》（Policy for Statewide Salmon Escapement Goals，EGP；5 AAC 39.223）纳入法规。《可持续鲑鱼渔业管理政策》要求阿拉斯加渔猎部（Alaska Department of Fish and Game，ADF&G）向阿拉斯加渔业委员会提交鲑鱼种群现状报告，并识别任何存在担忧的鲑鱼种群。经与阿拉斯加渔猎部协商，委员会可根据种群现状报告及该部门的建议，指定、修订或终止“受关注种群”（Stocks of Concern）。SSFP定义了三个担忧等级，即保护级（Conservation）、管理级（Management）和产量级（Yield），其中产量级为最低担忧等级，保护级为最高担忧等级。受关注鲑鱼种群问题在2016-2017年阿拉斯加渔业委员会会议周期内多次被提及。周期结束时，委员会要求阿拉斯加渔猎部提交受关注种群认定情况概要，包括指定受关注种群的原因，以及从受关注种群列表中移除的时间与理由。
