Alaska plaice

Most commercial fisheries do not want to catch Alaska plaice; but many are caught by commercial trawlers trying to catch other bottom fish.

The Alaska plaice lives in the demersal, marine, depth range 0 - 600 m environment.

SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting retention of Alaska plaice in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI). NMFS is requiring that catch of Alaska plaice in this area be treated in the same manner as prohibited species and discarded at sea with a minimum of injury. More

The Alaska plaice is a relatively large flounder, with an average length taken in commercial catches of 32 cm (12.6 inches) while the average weight caught is 390 g (0.86 lb.). This corresponds to an age of 7 or 8 years. More

For Alaska plaice, the author recommended FABC at the F40% level (=0.279), which is the maximum allowable under Tier 3a. Projected harvesting at the F40% level gives a 2003 ABC of 137,015 t for Alaska plaice. More

because the total catch of Alaska plaice has been well below the ABC for several years. Stock projections of Alaska plaice show that the population will gradually decline due to low recruitment. More
