Description:Prior to 1981, the fishery for walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) in the Gulf of Alaska was essentially foreign with the total catch averaging about 0.1 million metric tons (t) per year between 1977 and 1981. During this period, only small amounts of pollock were taken by either joint venture or domestic fisheries. From 1981 to1985, a joint venture fishery developed in the Shelikof area during the January-March period with the annual catch peaking at 0.24 million t in 1985 (Fig. 1). In 1985, the domestic fishery began to develop and by 1988 the domestic fleet was catching the total harvest. This domestic fleet was primarily land-based (in Kodiak) with catches primarily from the Shelikof and Kodiak areas 1989, however, over half of the walleye pollock taken in the gulf were taken by catcher-processors fishing prespawning pollock for roe in the Sanak (western gulf) and Sanak Islands and Chirikof areas. Almost all of that catch was taken in March from waters over 100-500 fathoms deep.
