transition from open access to quota based fishery management regimes in alaska increased the safety of operations.	during the past 12 years fishery managers responsible for federal fisheries off alaska have developed and implemented three new fishery management limited access/quota share programs in place of traditional open access management. the three limited access programs are unique but each provides for the allocation of quota shares to individual participants in the halibut and sablefish longline fishery, in the bering sea pollock trawl fishery and in the bering sea king and tanner crab fishery, respe ...	2007	18350974
a risk-benefit analysis of wild fish consumption for various species in alaska reveals shortcomings in data and monitoring needs.	northern peoples face a difficult decision of whether or not to consume wild fish, which may contain dangerous levels of contaminants such as methylmercury (mehg), but which also offer a number of positive health benefits, and play an important role in rural household economies. here, new methods for developing consumption advice are applied to an existing data-set for methylmercury (mehg) levels in alaskan fish. we apply a quantitative risk-benefit analysis for eight freshwater, saltwater and a ...	2010	20673961
residues of pbdes in northeastern pacific marine fish: evidence for spatial and temporal trends.	in the flesh (skinless fillet) of chinook, chum, coho, pink, and sockeye salmon (oncorhynchus tshawytscha, o. keta, o. kisutch, o. gorbuscha, and o. nerka, respectively), sablefish (anoplopoma fimbria) and walleye pollock (theragra chalcogramma) from several sites in the northeast pacific sampled between 2002 and 2008, tetra- and pentabrominated diphenyl ethers (bdes) (bde 47, 49, 99, and 100) dominated the congener distribution. chinook and sablefish contained the highest concentrations, follow ...	2011	21360729
killer whale depredation and associated costs to alaskan sablefish, pacific halibut and greenland turbot longliners.	killer whale (orcinus orca) depredation (whales stealing or damaging fish caught on fishing gear) adversely impacts demersal longline fisheries for sablefish (anoplopoma fimbria), pacific halibut (hippoglossus stenolepis) and greenland turbot (reinhardtius hippoglossoides) in the bering sea, aleutian islands and western gulf of alaska. these interactions increase direct costs and opportunity costs associated with catching fish and reduce the profitability of longline fishing in western alaska. t ...	2014	24558446
