Discards in the North Pacific Groundfish Fisheries, 1998-2000 1.0 Introduction

This report updates the 1998 Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) sponsored report, Discards in the North Pacific Groundfish Fisheries 1995-1997. It documents the amounts and sources of groundfish, crab, halibut, herring and salmon discards in commercial groundfish fisheries in the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands (BSAI) and the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) during calendar years 1998, 1999 and 2000.

Appendix 1-3 includes tables for the BSAI target fisheries, Appendix 4-6 has tables for GOA target fisheries. A new section, Appendix 7-9, includes tables for Community Development Quota (CDQ) groundfish fisheries.

A summary table below shows the total groundfish harvest, groundfish discards and prohibited spe­ cies discards for years 1997 through 2000. As predicted by the authors of the 1998 report, implementation of the Improved Retention/Improved Utilization program contributed to substantial declines (rate in 1998 was 44% of that in 1997) in groundfish discards.

2.0 Data sources and Methodology

As in previous reports, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) “best blend” data provided by the Alaska Regional Office was used as the data source. A description of the derivation of this data can be found at http://www.fakr.noaa.gov/sustainablefisheries/blend.htm

Numbers may differ slightly from those in NMFS annual reports posted on NMFS Alaska Fisheries Science Center webpages for several reasons. First, slightly different methodologies were used in assigning targets in the data provided to the author (that data is in the format used for in-season fish­ eries management). Second, small amounts of catch in unassigned categories were not included in this report; and third, data for categories with fewer than three processors were not provided to the author due to NMFS confidentiality constraints.

2.1 The assumed mortality rate for all species except halibut continued to be 100%. Insufficient studies have been completed to determine an accurate crab mortality rate. Halibut mortality rates are determined by the International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC), based on observer sampling data from recent years. Information on these rates can be found at http://www.iphc.washington.edu/halcom/pubs/rara/1999rara/99rara06.pdf

3.0. Managing Entities

The managing entities for groundfish fisheries in the North Pacific include NMFS, the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council (NPFMC), ADF&G, and the IPHC. The NPFMC develops manage­ ment policies and recommends harvest guidelines. NMFS is responsible for day-to-day management of fisheries and regulatory development. ADF&G manages groundfish fisheries in state waters. The IPHC provides information and recommendations about halibut bycatch issues. Information about these agencies can be found at:

4.0 General Causes of Discards

This issue was comprehensively discussed in the 1998 report (p. 3). Regulatory discards continue to be a substantial component of discards, although an exact accounting is beyond the scope of this paper. In 1998 in the BSAI, there were 39 instances of regulatory closures where a species or species group was “bycatch only” to one or more gear groups in the entire area, or one of its subareas. In 1999 the number of such closures was 55, and in 2000 was 56. In the Gulf in 1998 there were 53 such instances, in 1999, 54 and in 2000, 74 (reflecting the proliferation of pollock areas and seasons). These closures can be year-round, or for periods between open fisheries, and can apply to entire areas ors subareas, and to one or more gear types. During these periods, the closed species can be retained

-2- Discards in the North Pacific Groundfish Fisheries, 1998-2000 according to a maximum retainable bycatch limit, or MRB. The process of setting each MRB at a level that avoids wastage by allowing retention of truly unavoidable bycatch, while discouraging overt targeting or careless fishing, is an ongoing challenge for agency staff. Despite such “bycatch only” closures being in effect, it is still sometimes necessary for NMFS to make some groundfish species or species groups prohibited to retention (PSC) in certain areas when their Total Allowable Catch (TAC) amounts were exceeded. In 1998 there were seven such closures, in 1999 there were thirteen, and in 2000 there were six. Many of these closures involved rockfish species with very low TACs.

5.0 Improved Retention/Improved Utilization (IR/IU)

The IR/IU program, first implemented in 1998, currently applies to pollock and Pacific cod. It will be extended to BSAI rock sole and yellowfin sole, and GOA shallow-water flatfish species complex, in 2003. When directed fishing for an IR/IU species is open, fish of that species brought aboard a vessel must be treated as follows: catcher vessels must retain all fish, and catcher/processors and motherships must retain a primary product from all fish. When directed fishing for an IR/IU species is closed, fish of that species must be treated as follows: catcher vessels must retain up to the MRB amount; catcher/processors and motherships must retain a primary product from all fish of the species up to the point that the round-weight equivalent of primary products on board equals the MRB amount. Any action intended to discard or release an IR/IU species prior to being brought on board in prohibited. There is a minimum utilization requirement for catcher/processors and mother- ships that total weight of retained products during a fishing trip must equal or exceed 15% of the round-weigh catch during the trip.

6.0 Prohibited Species Donation Program

These NMFS-authorized programs apply to salmon, and to halibut delivered by catcher vessels using trawl gear to shoreside processors. The three-year trial halibut program permits the limited retention of halibut taken as trawl bycatch, and landed dead at shoreside processing plants. These fish are donated, through tax-exempt organizations, to economically-disadvantaged individuals. According to NMFS, in 1998, 7.6 mt of dressed halibut were donated through the program at two shoreside proc­ essors in Dutch Harbor, AK. In 1999, 5.3 mt of halibut were donated, and in 2000 14.1 mt. According to Northwest Food Strategies, in 1998 they received 50,068 pounds of salmon, and in 1999 and 2000, 53,655 pounds and 84,818 pounds respectively.

7.0 Other Management Actions affecting fisheries bycatch.

Bycatch control has been a major issue for the domestic groundfish fishery since its early days in the late 1980’s. Today, Standard 9 of the Magnuson-Stevens Act requires that fishery conservation and management measures shall, to the extent practicable, minimize bycatch and minimize mortality of unavoidable bycatch. The overall trend has been to decreased bycatch and mortality amounts (or its complement, increased groundfish harvest under the same bycatch limits) in almost all North

-3- Discards in the North Pacific Groundfish Fisheries, 1998-2000 Pacific groundfish fisheries, as well-documented in these and other reports. Yet the efficacy of any individual bycatch mitigation measure is difficult to assess, because of the complicating effects of other management actions. For example, between 1987 and 1992 such measures included: bycatch limits and zones, and closed (or seasonally closed) areas established for crab, halibut and herring; season changes (trawl yellowfin sole and hook-and-line Pacific cod) to avoid fishing during high­ bycatch months; and boat performance standards for red king crab and halibut (trawl vessel incentive program). Between 1993 and 1997, measures included: careful release for hook-and-line caught halibut, minimum mesh size requirements for trawlers, several trawl closure areas to save salmon, and further reduction of crab bycatch limits. In 1998 came the implementation of IR/IU, and the fol­ lowing year bottom trawling for pollock was banned. Two other major management measures had substantial affects on groundfish fishing operations during 1999 and 2000, resulting in changing fish­ ing and processing behaviors regarding discards, and new patterns of bycatch take.

The American Fisheries Act (AFA), first implemented in 1999, produced a dramatic change in the operations of the BSAI pollock fleet, which in 1998 and prior years operated in the usual race for fish of an open-access fishery. In 1999 the offshore sector of the fishery was “rationalized”; the vessels fished in cooperatives. In 2000 all but 2% of the pollock was harvested by such fishery cooperatives. With such cooperatives, vessels have more flexibility as to where and when they fish, as their share of the pollock is guaranteed. Previously, there was an incentive to sometimes make too-long tows, catching excess fish that need to be dumped before the trawl can be brought aboard. On the process­ ing side, when working under a known quota limit, pollock processors have a strong incentive to maximize the utilization of fish they receive. Furthermore, the infrastructure of cooperatives facili­ tates the exchange of fishing information among vessels, which can lead to reduction in bycatch and prohibited species amounts (particularly salmon).

A discussion (by NMFS staff ) of changes in processing practices, utilization rates, and prohibited species bycatch resulting from the AFA can be found in the Draft AFA EIS at http://www.fakr.noaa.gov/sustainablefisheries/afa/draft_eis/ExecSum.pdf

In 1999, NMFS initially implemented RPAs (Reasonable and Prudent Alternatives) for the protection of Steller sea lions. These dispersed fishing effort both temporally and spatially, for the pollock and Atka mackerel fleets, by establishing new quotas and seasons, and additionally established conserva­ tion zones in the Bering Sea and Gulf (Shelikof Strait). Pollock season changes are illustrated on page 14 (BSAI) and page 120 (Gulf).

8.0. CDQ Fisheries

The previous report did not include catch information from Community Development Quota (CDQ) fisheries. The Western Alaska CDQ program allocates a percentage of all Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands quotas for groundfish, prohibited species, halibut, and crab to eligible communities. From 1993-1997 pollock was the only groundfish species allocated; 1998 marked the first year of the “multi-species” CDQ program where all groundfish species (and associated PSC quotas) were allocated.

-4- Discards in the North Pacific Groundfish Fisheries, 1998-2000

Fishing for CDQ quota tends to be during times outside of the open access groundfish seasons. Because dates for some open access fisheries were set to minimize PSC bycatch, there was concern that PSC bycatch in CDQ fisheries could be greater than in open access fisheries. However, CDQ quota is subdivided among six groups, each of which in turn subdivides its own quota among specific fishing operations or even boats. A boat with its own quota is usually able to make operational choices to avoid bycatch that it is less able to do in an open access, “race for the fish” mode.

Some CDQ information is currently unavailable as CDQ data is in a different format than open- access groundfish and prohibited species data.
