On April 2, 2007 the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) received a petition from the Sierra Club to list Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii) in Lynn Canal as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The agency found that the petition presented substantial scientific and commercial information indicating the petitioned action may be warranted and initiated a status review (NMFS 2007). The purpose of this document was to review the status of Lynn Canal herring and specifically to determine if Lynn Canal herring are a Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of Pacific herring as defined by the ESA. To accomplish this goal, NMFS assembled a knowledgeable biological review team (BRT): Mark G. Carls, Jeffrey T. Fujioka, Scott W. Johnson, Stanley D. Rice, Johanna Vollenweider, and Bruce L. Wing, at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center; Richard G. Gustafson and Robin S. Waples at the Northwest Fisheries Science Center; Jamie N. Womble, National Park Service; and Erika Phillips at the Alaska Regional Office. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG), the agency that manages Pacific herring in Alaska, provided considerable data and advice; important assistance was obtained from Marc Pritchett and Kevin Monagle. Analysis of some of these data were contracted to Brian Bue, formerly at ADFG. Additional data were obtained from various sources, generally associated with scientific papers or reports.

"Alaska Herring History is a thoroughly researched, well-documented, and comprehensive chronicle of Alaska's herring fisheries. James Mackovjak describes the evolution of these fisheries from the late nineteenth century to the present, including harvest, processing, markets, and sustained-yield management considerations.-Provided by the Publisher"--

For such a small fish the herring has played an enormous role in history. Since the Middle Ages battles have been waged for it. International economic alliances have formed over it. Major cities owe their initial prosperities and structural foundations to it. Unquestionably, political powers have risen and fallen with herring's own rise and fall in population. In Herring: A Global History Kathy Hunt looks at the environmental, historical, political and culinary background of this highly prolific, delicious and easily caught fish. It will appeal to food lovers, history buffs and all those who have ever eaten British kippers, German Bismarcks, Dutch matjes or Jewish chopped herring.

"Herring (Clupea pallasii) is vital to the productivity and health of marine systems, and socio-ecologically is the most important fish species in the northern hemisphere, where it is valued for its oil, bait, eggs, and sac roe. This comprehensive case study traces the development of fisheries in Southeast Alaska from pre-contact indigenous relationships to herring to the post-contact fisheries, with comparative reference to other North Pacific cultures. Its interdisciplinary approach, which combines ethnological, historical, archaeological, and political perspectives, makes Herring and People in the North Pacific unique in literature on indigenous peoples, fisheries management, and marine social-ecological systems.Among the volume's findings are that: *present herring stocks, even in highly productive areas of Southeast Alaska and British Columbia, are being managed in a depleted status, representing a fraction of their historical abundance and distribution; * significant long-term impacts on herring distribution and abundance have been anthropogenic; * human dependence on herring as a food resource evolved through interactions with key spawning areas with abundant substrates for egg deposition (such as macrocystis kelp, rockweed, and eelgrass); and * maintenance of diverse spawning locations in Southeast Alaska is critical to conserving intraspecies biodiversity. Local and traditional knowledge (LTK)-in combination with archeological, historical, and biological data-is shown to play a critical role in developing understanding of marine ecology, valuation of herring in North Pacific social-ecological systems, and restoration of herring stocks toward their former abundance"--
