INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this report is to present age sex and size composition data of the 1984 eastern Bering Sea Pacific herring Clupea harengus pallasi spawning biomass Similar studies were conducted annually by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFampG) since 1976 (McBride et al 198la and b Fried et al 1982a and b 1983a and b 1984)

METHODS

Study Area Description

The study area comprised the coastal waters from Cape Constantine on the Nushagak Peninsula to Cape Douglas on the Seward Peninsula (Figures 1 and 2) Five ADFampG defined commercial fishing districts Togiak Security Cove Goodnews Bay Cape Romanzof and Norton Sound and one major subsistence fishing area Nelson Island were located within the study area The Togiak and Norton Sound Districts were further subdivided into four sections (Kulukak Nunavachak Togiak and Hagemeister) and seven subdistricts (St Michael Unalakleet Cape Denbigh Norton Bay Elim Golovin Bay and Nome) respectively

Sampling Techniquesmiddot

Pacific herring samples were collected from Togiak (all sections) Security Cove Goodnews Bay Cape Romanzof and Norton Sound (St Michael Unalakleet and Cape Denbigh subdistricts only) commercial fishing districts and Nelson Island subshysistence fishing area Samples were obtained from commercial purse seine and gillnet catches subsistence landings ADFampG variable mesh test gillnet and volunteer commercial test gillnet and purse seine catches Data collection methshyods were similar to those described by Barton and Steinhoff (1980)

An attempt was made to collect at least 213 Pacific herring from each gear type during each weekly sampling period Sample size was determined according to methods described by Fried et al (1984) Sampled fish were measured (mm) weighed (nearest 1 g) and aged by scale annuli analysis using a microfiche reader

Age class composition expressed as a percentage by weight of the commercial catch and_ADFampG variable mesh test gillnet fishing samples were assumed to reflect actual age class compositions of the commercial harvest and herring escapement respectively These data were converted to biomass and then combined to detershymine total run age class composition

Variable mesh test gillnet samples from all districts and subsistence samples from the Nelson Island area were used to determine mean standard length for each age class by district or area

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

A total of 11731 Pacific herring was examined during the period 1 May to 1 July (Tables 1-38) Trends in mean size at age generally paralleled those noted in previous years (Fried et al 1984)

No obvious trends or consistent differences in age class composition sex ratio or mean size at age were noted among sections in Togiak District or subdistricts in Norton Sound (Tables 1-23 32-38 respectively) However temporal differshyences in year class abundance were again evident within all areas as reported for prior years (McBride et al 198la and b Fried et al 1982a and b l983a and b 1984) These data also suggested that older aged Pacific herring arrived and spawned earlier in the season than younger aged herring although not as evident as in former years (eg Tables 23 and 38)

The 1977 year class (age 7) numerically dominated commercial test fish and subshysistence catches (all gear types) in nearly all fishing districts sampled for the fourth consecutive year This strong year class accounted for approximately 35 (by weight) or more of each district sample (Table 39 Figure 3) The 1978 year class (age 6) was also abundant in most districts usually representing about 22 or more of each district sample except in Norton Sound District where representation was 19 The 1976 year class (age 8) was poorly represented in most districts accounting for 7 or less of each district sample The 1979 year class (age 5) represented about 20 or more of the sample from Cape Romanzof and Norton Sound Districts and less than 14 in all other districts The 1980 year (age 4) was represented by about 4 of the sample in Norton Sound District and 3 or less in all other districts The 1981 year class (age 3) was represented by about 2 of the sample in Norton Sound District and less than 1 in all other districts

Mean length within an age class did not appear to differ among samples taken by different gear types within the same district (eg Tables 5 10 15 18 and 23) However the mean length for each age class for each district tended to decrease in samples taken progressively northward from Togiak to Norton Sound (Figures 4 and 5) Although not as clearly defined the mean weight for each age class for each district followed this trend Males usually outnumbered females in most total season samples Progressing northward by area sex ratios increased in favor of males (Togiak= 091 Security Cove= 1 11 Goodnews Bay Nelson Island and Cape Romanzof = 121 Norton Sound= 141)

The combined 1984 eastern Bering Sea Pacific herring spawning biomass (Table 39) was estimated to be 155100 tons (Lebida et al 1984) Biomass distribution was 67 in Togiak District 3 in Security Cove District 2 in Goodnews Bay District 6 in the Nelson Island area 4 in the Nunivak Island area 4 in Cape Romanzof District and 14 in Norton Sound District (Figure 6)

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this report is to present age sex and size composition data of the 1984 eastern Bering Sea Pacific herring Clupea harengus pallasi spawning biomass Similar studies were conducted annually by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFampG) since 1976 (McBride et al 198la and b Fried et al 1982a and b 1983a and b 1984)

METHODS

Study Area Description

The study area comprised the coastal waters from Cape Constantine on the Nushagak Peninsula to Cape Douglas on the Seward Peninsula (Figures 1 and 2) Five ADFampG defined commercial fishing districts Togiak Security Cove Goodnews Bay Cape Romanzof and Norton Sound and one major subsistence fishing area Nelson Island were located within the study area The Togiak and Norton Sound Districts were further subdivided into four sections (Kulukak Nunavachak Togiak and Hagemeister) and seven subdistricts (St Michael Unalakleet Cape Denbigh Norton Bay Elim Golovin Bay and Nome) respectively

Sampling Techniquesmiddot

Pacific herring samples were collected from Togiak (all sections) Security Cove Goodnews Bay Cape Romanzof and Norton Sound (St Michael Unalakleet and Cape Denbigh subdistricts only) commercial fishing districts and Nelson Island subshysistence fishing area Samples were obtained from commercial purse seine and gillnet catches subsistence landings ADFampG variable mesh test gillnet and volunteer commercial test gillnet and purse seine catches Data collection methshyods were similar to those described by Barton and Steinhoff (1980)

An attempt was made to collect at least 213 Pacific herring from each gear type during each weekly sampling period Sample size was determined according to methods described by Fried et al (1984) Sampled fish were measured (mm) weighed (nearest 1 g) and aged by scale annuli analysis using a microfiche reader

Age class composition expressed as a percentage by weight of the commercial catch and_ADFampG variable mesh test gillnet fishing samples were assumed to reflect actual age class compositions of the commercial harvest and herring escapement respectively These data were converted to biomass and then combined to detershymine total run age class composition

Variable mesh test gillnet samples from all districts and subsistence samples from the Nelson Island area were used to determine mean standard length for each age class by district or area

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

A total of 11731 Pacific herring was examined during the period 1 May to 1 July (Tables 1-38) Trends in mean size at age generally paralleled those noted in previous years (Fried et al 1984)

No obvious trends or consistent differences in age class composition sex ratio or mean size at age were noted among sections in Togiak District or subdistricts in Norton Sound (Tables 1-23 32-38 respectively) However temporal differshyences in year class abundance were again evident within all areas as reported for prior years (McBride et al 198la and b Fried et al 1982a and b l983a and b 1984) These data also suggested that older aged Pacific herring arrived and spawned earlier in the season than younger aged herring although not as evident as in former years (eg Tables 23 and 38)

The 1977 year class (age 7) numerically dominated commercial test fish and subshysistence catches (all gear types) in nearly all fishing districts sampled for the fourth consecutive year This strong year class accounted for approximately 35 (by weight) or more of each district sample (Table 39 Figure 3) The 1978 year class (age 6) was also abundant in most districts usually representing about 22 or more of each district sample except in Norton Sound District where representation was 19 The 1976 year class (age 8) was poorly represented in most districts accounting for 7 or less of each district sample The 1979 year class (age 5) represented about 20 or more of the sample from Cape Romanzof and Norton Sound Districts and less than 14 in all other districts The 1980 year (age 4) was represented by about 4 of the sample in Norton Sound District and 3 or less in all other districts The 1981 year class (age 3) was represented by about 2 of the sample in Norton Sound District and less than 1 in all other districts

Mean length within an age class did not appear to differ among samples taken by different gear types within the same district (eg Tables 5 10 15 18 and 23) However the mean length for each age class for each district tended to decrease in samples taken progressively northward from Togiak to Norton Sound (Figures 4 and 5) Although not as clearly defined the mean weight for each age class for each district followed this trend Males usually outnumbered females in most total season samples Progressing northward by area sex ratios increased in favor of males (Togiak= 091 Security Cove= 1 11 Goodnews Bay Nelson Island and Cape Romanzof = 121 Norton Sound= 141)

The combined 1984 eastern Bering Sea Pacific herring spawning biomass (Table 39) was estimated to be 155100 tons (Lebida et al 1984) Biomass distribution was 67 in Togiak District 3 in Security Cove District 2 in Goodnews Bay District 6 in the Nelson Island area 4 in the Nunivak Island area 4 in Cape Romanzof District and 14 in Norton Sound District (Figure 6)

The study area comprised the coastal waters from Cape Constantine on the Nushagak Peninsula to Cape Douglas on the Seward Peninsula (Figures 1 and 2) Five ADFampG defined commercial fishing districts Togiak Security Cove Goodnews Bay Cape Romanzof and Norton Sound and one major subsistence fishing area Nelson Island were located within the study area The Togiak and Norton Sound Districts were further subdivided into four sections (Kulukak Nunavachak Togiak and Hagemeister) and seven subdistricts (St Michael Unalakleet Cape Denbigh Norton Bay Elim Golovin Bay and Nome) respectively

Sampling Techniquesmiddot

Pacific herring samples were collected from Togiak (all sections) Security Cove Goodnews Bay Cape Romanzof and Norton Sound (St Michael Unalakleet and Cape Denbigh subdistricts only) commercial fishing districts and Nelson Island subshysistence fishing area Samples were obtained from commercial purse seine and gillnet catches subsistence landings ADFampG variable mesh test gillnet and volunteer commercial test gillnet and purse seine catches Data collection methshyods were similar to those described by Barton and Steinhoff (1980)

An attempt was made to collect at least 213 Pacific herring from each gear type during each weekly sampling period Sample size was determined according to methods described by Fried et al (1984) Sampled fish were measured (mm) weighed (nearest 1 g) and aged by scale annuli analysis using a microfiche reader

Age class composition expressed as a percentage by weight of the commercial catch and_ADFampG variable mesh test gillnet fishing samples were assumed to reflect actual age class compositions of the commercial harvest and herring escapement respectively These data were converted to biomass and then combined to detershymine total run age class composition

Variable mesh test gillnet samples from all districts and subsistence samples from the Nelson Island area were used to determine mean standard length for each age class by district or area

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

A total of 11731 Pacific herring was examined during the period 1 May to 1 July (Tables 1-38) Trends in mean size at age generally paralleled those noted in previous years (Fried et al 1984)

No obvious trends or consistent differences in age class composition sex ratio or mean size at age were noted among sections in Togiak District or subdistricts in Norton Sound (Tables 1-23 32-38 respectively) However temporal differshyences in year class abundance were again evident within all areas as reported for prior years (McBride et al 198la and b Fried et al 1982a and b l983a and b 1984) These data also suggested that older aged Pacific herring arrived and spawned earlier in the season than younger aged herring although not as evident as in former years (eg Tables 23 and 38)

The 1977 year class (age 7) numerically dominated commercial test fish and subshysistence catches (all gear types) in nearly all fishing districts sampled for the fourth consecutive year This strong year class accounted for approximately 35 (by weight) or more of each district sample (Table 39 Figure 3) The 1978 year class (age 6) was also abundant in most districts usually representing about 22 or more of each district sample except in Norton Sound District where representation was 19 The 1976 year class (age 8) was poorly represented in most districts accounting for 7 or less of each district sample The 1979 year class (age 5) represented about 20 or more of the sample from Cape Romanzof and Norton Sound Districts and less than 14 in all other districts The 1980 year (age 4) was represented by about 4 of the sample in Norton Sound District and 3 or less in all other districts The 1981 year class (age 3) was represented by about 2 of the sample in Norton Sound District and less than 1 in all other districts

Mean length within an age class did not appear to differ among samples taken by different gear types within the same district (eg Tables 5 10 15 18 and 23) However the mean length for each age class for each district tended to decrease in samples taken progressively northward from Togiak to Norton Sound (Figures 4 and 5) Although not as clearly defined the mean weight for each age class for each district followed this trend Males usually outnumbered females in most total season samples Progressing northward by area sex ratios increased in favor of males (Togiak= 091 Security Cove= 1 11 Goodnews Bay Nelson Island and Cape Romanzof = 121 Norton Sound= 141)

The combined 1984 eastern Bering Sea Pacific herring spawning biomass (Table 39) was estimated to be 155100 tons (Lebida et al 1984) Biomass distribution was 67 in Togiak District 3 in Security Cove District 2 in Goodnews Bay District 6 in the Nelson Island area 4 in the Nunivak Island area 4 in Cape Romanzof District and 14 in Norton Sound District (Figure 6)

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this report is to present age sex and size composition data of the 1984 eastern Bering Sea Pacific herring Clupea harengus pallasi spawning biomass Similar studies were conducted annually by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFampG) since 1976 (McBride et al 198la and b Fried et al 1982a and b 1983a and b 1984)

METHODS

Study Area Description

The study area comprised the coastal waters from Cape Constantine on the Nushagak Peninsula to Cape Douglas on the Seward Peninsula (Figures 1 and 2) Five ADFampG defined commercial fishing districts Togiak Security Cove Goodnews Bay Cape Romanzof and Norton Sound and one major subsistence fishing area Nelson Island were located within the study area The Togiak and Norton Sound Districts were further subdivided into four sections (Kulukak Nunavachak Togiak and Hagemeister) and seven subdistricts (St Michael Unalakleet Cape Denbigh Norton Bay Elim Golovin Bay and Nome) respectively

Sampling Techniquesmiddot

Pacific herring samples were collected from Togiak (all sections) Security Cove Goodnews Bay Cape Romanzof and Norton Sound (St Michael Unalakleet and Cape Denbigh subdistricts only) commercial fishing districts and Nelson Island subshysistence fishing area Samples were obtained from commercial purse seine and gillnet catches subsistence landings ADFampG variable mesh test gillnet and volunteer commercial test gillnet and purse seine catches Data collection methshyods were similar to those described by Barton and Steinhoff (1980)

An attempt was made to collect at least 213 Pacific herring from each gear type during each weekly sampling period Sample size was determined according to methods described by Fried et al (1984) Sampled fish were measured (mm) weighed (nearest 1 g) and aged by scale annuli analysis using a microfiche reader

Age class composition expressed as a percentage by weight of the commercial catch and_ADFampG variable mesh test gillnet fishing samples were assumed to reflect actual age class compositions of the commercial harvest and herring escapement respectively These data were converted to biomass and then combined to detershymine total run age class composition

Variable mesh test gillnet samples from all districts and subsistence samples from the Nelson Island area were used to determine mean standard length for each age class by district or area

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

A total of 11731 Pacific herring was examined during the period 1 May to 1 July (Tables 1-38) Trends in mean size at age generally paralleled those noted in previous years (Fried et al 1984)

No obvious trends or consistent differences in age class composition sex ratio or mean size at age were noted among sections in Togiak District or subdistricts in Norton Sound (Tables 1-23 32-38 respectively) However temporal differshyences in year class abundance were again evident within all areas as reported for prior years (McBride et al 198la and b Fried et al 1982a and b l983a and b 1984) These data also suggested that older aged Pacific herring arrived and spawned earlier in the season than younger aged herring although not as evident as in former years (eg Tables 23 and 38)

The 1977 year class (age 7) numerically dominated commercial test fish and subshysistence catches (all gear types) in nearly all fishing districts sampled for the fourth consecutive year This strong year class accounted for approximately 35 (by weight) or more of each district sample (Table 39 Figure 3) The 1978 year class (age 6) was also abundant in most districts usually representing about 22 or more of each district sample except in Norton Sound District where representation was 19 The 1976 year class (age 8) was poorly represented in most districts accounting for 7 or less of each district sample The 1979 year class (age 5) represented about 20 or more of the sample from Cape Romanzof and Norton Sound Districts and less than 14 in all other districts The 1980 year (age 4) was represented by about 4 of the sample in Norton Sound District and 3 or less in all other districts The 1981 year class (age 3) was represented by about 2 of the sample in Norton Sound District and less than 1 in all other districts

Mean length within an age class did not appear to differ among samples taken by different gear types within the same district (eg Tables 5 10 15 18 and 23) However the mean length for each age class for each district tended to decrease in samples taken progressively northward from Togiak to Norton Sound (Figures 4 and 5) Although not as clearly defined the mean weight for each age class for each district followed this trend Males usually outnumbered females in most total season samples Progressing northward by area sex ratios increased in favor of males (Togiak= 091 Security Cove= 1 11 Goodnews Bay Nelson Island and Cape Romanzof = 121 Norton Sound= 141)

The combined 1984 eastern Bering Sea Pacific herring spawning biomass (Table 39) was estimated to be 155100 tons (Lebida et al 1984) Biomass distribution was 67 in Togiak District 3 in Security Cove District 2 in Goodnews Bay District 6 in the Nelson Island area 4 in the Nunivak Island area 4 in Cape Romanzof District and 14 in Norton Sound District (Figure 6)

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this report is to present age sex and size composition data of the 1984 eastern Bering Sea Pacific herring Clupea harengus pallasi spawning biomass Similar studies were conducted annually by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFampG) since 1976 (McBride et al 198la and b Fried et al 1982a and b 1983a and b 1984)

METHODS

Study Area Description

The study area comprised the coastal waters from Cape Constantine on the Nushagak Peninsula to Cape Douglas on the Seward Peninsula (Figures 1 and 2) Five ADFampG defined commercial fishing districts Togiak Security Cove Goodnews Bay Cape Romanzof and Norton Sound and one major subsistence fishing area Nelson Island were located within the study area The Togiak and Norton Sound Districts were further subdivided into four sections (Kulukak Nunavachak Togiak and Hagemeister) and seven subdistricts (St Michael Unalakleet Cape Denbigh Norton Bay Elim Golovin Bay and Nome) respectively

Sampling Techniquesmiddot

Pacific herring samples were collected from Togiak (all sections) Security Cove Goodnews Bay Cape Romanzof and Norton Sound (St Michael Unalakleet and Cape Denbigh subdistricts only) commercial fishing districts and Nelson Island subshysistence fishing area Samples were obtained from commercial purse seine and gillnet catches subsistence landings ADFampG variable mesh test gillnet and volunteer commercial test gillnet and purse seine catches Data collection methshyods were similar to those described by Barton and Steinhoff (1980)

An attempt was made to collect at least 213 Pacific herring from each gear type during each weekly sampling period Sample size was determined according to methods described by Fried et al (1984) Sampled fish were measured (mm) weighed (nearest 1 g) and aged by scale annuli analysis using a microfiche reader

Age class composition expressed as a percentage by weight of the commercial catch and_ADFampG variable mesh test gillnet fishing samples were assumed to reflect actual age class compositions of the commercial harvest and herring escapement respectively These data were converted to biomass and then combined to detershymine total run age class composition

Variable mesh test gillnet samples from all districts and subsistence samples from the Nelson Island area were used to determine mean standard length for each age class by district or area

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

A total of 11731 Pacific herring was examined during the period 1 May to 1 July (Tables 1-38) Trends in mean size at age generally paralleled those noted in previous years (Fried et al 1984)

No obvious trends or consistent differences in age class composition sex ratio or mean size at age were noted among sections in Togiak District or subdistricts in Norton Sound (Tables 1-23 32-38 respectively) However temporal differshyences in year class abundance were again evident within all areas as reported for prior years (McBride et al 198la and b Fried et al 1982a and b l983a and b 1984) These data also suggested that older aged Pacific herring arrived and spawned earlier in the season than younger aged herring although not as evident as in former years (eg Tables 23 and 38)

The 1977 year class (age 7) numerically dominated commercial test fish and subshysistence catches (all gear types) in nearly all fishing districts sampled for the fourth consecutive year This strong year class accounted for approximately 35 (by weight) or more of each district sample (Table 39 Figure 3) The 1978 year class (age 6) was also abundant in most districts usually representing about 22 or more of each district sample except in Norton Sound District where representation was 19 The 1976 year class (age 8) was poorly represented in most districts accounting for 7 or less of each district sample The 1979 year class (age 5) represented about 20 or more of the sample from Cape Romanzof and Norton Sound Districts and less than 14 in all other districts The 1980 year (age 4) was represented by about 4 of the sample in Norton Sound District and 3 or less in all other districts The 1981 year class (age 3) was represented by about 2 of the sample in Norton Sound District and less than 1 in all other districts

Mean length within an age class did not appear to differ among samples taken by different gear types within the same district (eg Tables 5 10 15 18 and 23) However the mean length for each age class for each district tended to decrease in samples taken progressively northward from Togiak to Norton Sound (Figures 4 and 5) Although not as clearly defined the mean weight for each age class for each district followed this trend Males usually outnumbered females in most total season samples Progressing northward by area sex ratios increased in favor of males (Togiak= 091 Security Cove= 1 11 Goodnews Bay Nelson Island and Cape Romanzof = 121 Norton Sound= 141)

The combined 1984 eastern Bering Sea Pacific herring spawning biomass (Table 39) was estimated to be 155100 tons (Lebida et al 1984) Biomass distribution was 67 in Togiak District 3 in Security Cove District 2 in Goodnews Bay District 6 in the Nelson Island area 4 in the Nunivak Island area 4 in Cape Romanzof District and 14 in Norton Sound District (Figure 6)

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this report is to present age sex and size composition data of the 1984 eastern Bering Sea Pacific herring Clupea harengus pallasi spawning biomass Similar studies were conducted annually by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFampG) since 1976 (McBride et al 198la and b Fried et al 1982a and b 1983a and b 1984)

METHODS

Study Area Description

The study area comprised the coastal waters from Cape Constantine on the Nushagak Peninsula to Cape Douglas on the Seward Peninsula (Figures 1 and 2) Five ADFampG defined commercial fishing districts Togiak Security Cove Goodnews Bay Cape Romanzof and Norton Sound and one major subsistence fishing area Nelson Island were located within the study area The Togiak and Norton Sound Districts were further subdivided into four sections (Kulukak Nunavachak Togiak and Hagemeister) and seven subdistricts (St Michael Unalakleet Cape Denbigh Norton Bay Elim Golovin Bay and Nome) respectively

Sampling Techniquesmiddot

Pacific herring samples were collected from Togiak (all sections) Security Cove Goodnews Bay Cape Romanzof and Norton Sound (St Michael Unalakleet and Cape Denbigh subdistricts only) commercial fishing districts and Nelson Island subshysistence fishing area Samples were obtained from commercial purse seine and gillnet catches subsistence landings ADFampG variable mesh test gillnet and volunteer commercial test gillnet and purse seine catches Data collection methshyods were similar to those described by Barton and Steinhoff (1980)

An attempt was made to collect at least 213 Pacific herring from each gear type during each weekly sampling period Sample size was determined according to methods described by Fried et al (1984) Sampled fish were measured (mm) weighed (nearest 1 g) and aged by scale annuli analysis using a microfiche reader

Age class composition expressed as a percentage by weight of the commercial catch and_ADFampG variable mesh test gillnet fishing samples were assumed to reflect actual age class compositions of the commercial harvest and herring escapement respectively These data were converted to biomass and then combined to detershymine total run age class composition

Variable mesh test gillnet samples from all districts and subsistence samples from the Nelson Island area were used to determine mean standard length for each age class by district or area

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

A total of 11731 Pacific herring was examined during the period 1 May to 1 July (Tables 1-38) Trends in mean size at age generally paralleled those noted in previous years (Fried et al 1984)

No obvious trends or consistent differences in age class composition sex ratio or mean size at age were noted among sections in Togiak District or subdistricts in Norton Sound (Tables 1-23 32-38 respectively) However temporal differshyences in year class abundance were again evident within all areas as reported for prior years (McBride et al 198la and b Fried et al 1982a and b l983a and b 1984) These data also suggested that older aged Pacific herring arrived and spawned earlier in the season than younger aged herring although not as evident as in former years (eg Tables 23 and 38)

The 1977 year class (age 7) numerically dominated commercial test fish and subshysistence catches (all gear types) in nearly all fishing districts sampled for the fourth consecutive year This strong year class accounted for approximately 35 (by weight) or more of each district sample (Table 39 Figure 3) The 1978 year class (age 6) was also abundant in most districts usually representing about 22 or more of each district sample except in Norton Sound District where representation was 19 The 1976 year class (age 8) was poorly represented in most districts accounting for 7 or less of each district sample The 1979 year class (age 5) represented about 20 or more of the sample from Cape Romanzof and Norton Sound Districts and less than 14 in all other districts The 1980 year (age 4) was represented by about 4 of the sample in Norton Sound District and 3 or less in all other districts The 1981 year class (age 3) was represented by about 2 of the sample in Norton Sound District and less than 1 in all other districts

Mean length within an age class did not appear to differ among samples taken by different gear types within the same district (eg Tables 5 10 15 18 and 23) However the mean length for each age class for each district tended to decrease in samples taken progressively northward from Togiak to Norton Sound (Figures 4 and 5) Although not as clearly defined the mean weight for each age class for each district followed this trend Males usually outnumbered females in most total season samples Progressing northward by area sex ratios increased in favor of males (Togiak= 091 Security Cove= 1 11 Goodnews Bay Nelson Island and Cape Romanzof = 121 Norton Sound= 141)

The combined 1984 eastern Bering Sea Pacific herring spawning biomass (Table 39) was estimated to be 155100 tons (Lebida et al 1984) Biomass distribution was 67 in Togiak District 3 in Security Cove District 2 in Goodnews Bay District 6 in the Nelson Island area 4 in the Nunivak Island area 4 in Cape Romanzof District and 14 in Norton Sound District (Figure 6)

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

A total of 11731 Pacific herring was examined during the period 1 May to 1 July (Tables 1-38) Trends in mean size at age generally paralleled those noted in previous years (Fried et al 1984)

No obvious trends or consistent differences in age class composition sex ratio or mean size at age were noted among sections in Togiak District or subdistricts in Norton Sound (Tables 1-23 32-38 respectively) However temporal differshyences in year class abundance were again evident within all areas as reported for prior years (McBride et al 198la and b Fried et al 1982a and b l983a and b 1984) These data also suggested that older aged Pacific herring arrived and spawned earlier in the season than younger aged herring although not as evident as in former years (eg Tables 23 and 38)

The 1977 year class (age 7) numerically dominated commercial test fish and subshysistence catches (all gear types) in nearly all fishing districts sampled for the fourth consecutive year This strong year class accounted for approximately 35 (by weight) or more of each district sample (Table 39 Figure 3) The 1978 year class (age 6) was also abundant in most districts usually representing about 22 or more of each district sample except in Norton Sound District where representation was 19 The 1976 year class (age 8) was poorly represented in most districts accounting for 7 or less of each district sample The 1979 year class (age 5) represented about 20 or more of the sample from Cape Romanzof and Norton Sound Districts and less than 14 in all other districts The 1980 year (age 4) was represented by about 4 of the sample in Norton Sound District and 3 or less in all other districts The 1981 year class (age 3) was represented by about 2 of the sample in Norton Sound District and less than 1 in all other districts

Mean length within an age class did not appear to differ among samples taken by different gear types within the same district (eg Tables 5 10 15 18 and 23) However the mean length for each age class for each district tended to decrease in samples taken progressively northward from Togiak to Norton Sound (Figures 4 and 5) Although not as clearly defined the mean weight for each age class for each district followed this trend Males usually outnumbered females in most total season samples Progressing northward by area sex ratios increased in favor of males (Togiak= 091 Security Cove= 1 11 Goodnews Bay Nelson Island and Cape Romanzof = 121 Norton Sound= 141)

The combined 1984 eastern Bering Sea Pacific herring spawning biomass (Table 39) was estimated to be 155100 tons (Lebida et al 1984) Biomass distribution was 67 in Togiak District 3 in Security Cove District 2 in Goodnews Bay District 6 in the Nelson Island area 4 in the Nunivak Island area 4 in Cape Romanzof District and 14 in Norton Sound District (Figure 6)

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

A total of 11731 Pacific herring was examined during the period 1 May to 1 July (Tables 1-38) Trends in mean size at age generally paralleled those noted in previous years (Fried et al 1984)

No obvious trends or consistent differences in age class composition sex ratio or mean size at age were noted among sections in Togiak District or subdistricts in Norton Sound (Tables 1-23 32-38 respectively) However temporal differshyences in year class abundance were again evident within all areas as reported for prior years (McBride et al 198la and b Fried et al 1982a and b l983a and b 1984) These data also suggested that older aged Pacific herring arrived and spawned earlier in the season than younger aged herring although not as evident as in former years (eg Tables 23 and 38)

The 1977 year class (age 7) numerically dominated commercial test fish and subshysistence catches (all gear types) in nearly all fishing districts sampled for the fourth consecutive year This strong year class accounted for approximately 35 (by weight) or more of each district sample (Table 39 Figure 3) The 1978 year class (age 6) was also abundant in most districts usually representing about 22 or more of each district sample except in Norton Sound District where representation was 19 The 1976 year class (age 8) was poorly represented in most districts accounting for 7 or less of each district sample The 1979 year class (age 5) represented about 20 or more of the sample from Cape Romanzof and Norton Sound Districts and less than 14 in all other districts The 1980 year (age 4) was represented by about 4 of the sample in Norton Sound District and 3 or less in all other districts The 1981 year class (age 3) was represented by about 2 of the sample in Norton Sound District and less than 1 in all other districts

Mean length within an age class did not appear to differ among samples taken by different gear types within the same district (eg Tables 5 10 15 18 and 23) However the mean length for each age class for each district tended to decrease in samples taken progressively northward from Togiak to Norton Sound (Figures 4 and 5) Although not as clearly defined the mean weight for each age class for each district followed this trend Males usually outnumbered females in most total season samples Progressing northward by area sex ratios increased in favor of males (Togiak= 091 Security Cove= 1 11 Goodnews Bay Nelson Island and Cape Romanzof = 121 Norton Sound= 141)

The combined 1984 eastern Bering Sea Pacific herring spawning biomass (Table 39) was estimated to be 155100 tons (Lebida et al 1984) Biomass distribution was 67 in Togiak District 3 in Security Cove District 2 in Goodnews Bay District 6 in the Nelson Island area 4 in the Nunivak Island area 4 in Cape Romanzof District and 14 in Norton Sound District (Figure 6)

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

A total of 11731 Pacific herring was examined during the period 1 May to 1 July (Tables 1-38) Trends in mean size at age generally paralleled those noted in previous years (Fried et al 1984)

No obvious trends or consistent differences in age class composition sex ratio or mean size at age were noted among sections in Togiak District or subdistricts in Norton Sound (Tables 1-23 32-38 respectively) However temporal differshyences in year class abundance were again evident within all areas as reported for prior years (McBride et al 198la and b Fried et al 1982a and b l983a and b 1984) These data also suggested that older aged Pacific herring arrived and spawned earlier in the season than younger aged herring although not as evident as in former years (eg Tables 23 and 38)

The 1977 year class (age 7) numerically dominated commercial test fish and subshysistence catches (all gear types) in nearly all fishing districts sampled for the fourth consecutive year This strong year class accounted for approximately 35 (by weight) or more of each district sample (Table 39 Figure 3) The 1978 year class (age 6) was also abundant in most districts usually representing about 22 or more of each district sample except in Norton Sound District where representation was 19 The 1976 year class (age 8) was poorly represented in most districts accounting for 7 or less of each district sample The 1979 year class (age 5) represented about 20 or more of the sample from Cape Romanzof and Norton Sound Districts and less than 14 in all other districts The 1980 year (age 4) was represented by about 4 of the sample in Norton Sound District and 3 or less in all other districts The 1981 year class (age 3) was represented by about 2 of the sample in Norton Sound District and less than 1 in all other districts

Mean length within an age class did not appear to differ among samples taken by different gear types within the same district (eg Tables 5 10 15 18 and 23) However the mean length for each age class for each district tended to decrease in samples taken progressively northward from Togiak to Norton Sound (Figures 4 and 5) Although not as clearly defined the mean weight for each age class for each district followed this trend Males usually outnumbered females in most total season samples Progressing northward by area sex ratios increased in favor of males (Togiak= 091 Security Cove= 1 11 Goodnews Bay Nelson Island and Cape Romanzof = 121 Norton Sound= 141)

The combined 1984 eastern Bering Sea Pacific herring spawning biomass (Table 39) was estimated to be 155100 tons (Lebida et al 1984) Biomass distribution was 67 in Togiak District 3 in Security Cove District 2 in Goodnews Bay District 6 in the Nelson Island area 4 in the Nunivak Island area 4 in Cape Romanzof District and 14 in Norton Sound District (Figure 6)
