• Description:
  Pot fishing gear was legalized in the Gulf of Alaska commercial sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria) fishery in 2017. Since then, lightweight, collapsible “slinky” pots have been introduced into the fishery and usage is widespread and increasing. In an effort to collect baseline data on catch rates and catch compositions of slinky pots relative to hook-and-line longline gear, the Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) fished three paired slinky pot and hook-and-line sets during the July 2021 experimental leg of the annual AFSC sablefish longline survey in the West Yakutat region of the Gulf of Alaska.
