The Alaska statewide herring sac roe harvest progressed about as forecast this year, with reasonably good product quality overall. Ice delayed the Norton Sound herring fishery, and combined with a low processing interest because of market conditions, resulted in a harvest less than forecast for the Norton Sound area. Overall harvests are up a moderate amount from last year, with the final catch approximately 41,000 tons. No Harvest - lack of processing interests. From reports filed by Area Management Biologists and their staffs.
