Effects of Bycatch Allocations to Trawl Fisheries for Groundfish in the Bering Sea
Terrence Smith and Denby Lloyd
Most fishing gear is not completely selective, resulting in the incidental catch (bycatch) of species other than those specifically targeted upon. If uncontrolled bycatch of a species is deemed undesirable managers must either limit the incidental harvest of these species through indirect measures (e.g., minimum mesh size, time/area closures) or direct controls (allocation of bycatch limits to competing fisheries). The North Pacific Fishery Management Council uses both time/area closures and direct allocation to limit the incidental harvest of crab and halibut by groundfish fisheries in the Bering Sea. Area closures are triggered by attainment of a prohibited species catch (PSC) limit. Following closure the affected fleet relocates and continues fishing until an overall allocation is reached. A stochastic simulation which models movement of the groundfish trawl fleet has been constructed to provide guidance to the Council in establishing PSC limits and associated area closures. Impacts estimated include the time and area of predicted closure, the magnitude of the relocation , the potential foregone revenue and profits in the groundfish fishery and the bycatch value saved and therefore available to directed fisheries for crab and halibut.

Minorities in Higher Education: The Changing North
Judith Kleinfield, Lee Gorsuch, and Jim Kerr
This report examines the educational status of ethnic and racial minorities in Alaska and draws attention to the ways demographic changes in Alaska may affect these groups. The Alaska Native population, as opposed to other ethnic minorities, is the focal point of this study. This is the largest minority group in the state and the one experiencing the greatest economic and social difficulties. This group has been growing in absolute size but not as a proportion of the general state population. A decline in world oil prices has caused the state to be less able to support the expensive delivery system developed during the 1970s to provide access to higher education in the remote villages where the majority of Alaska Native live. Information in this report comes primarily from the 1980 census of higher education collected by the Office of Civil Rights and the National Center for Educational Statistics. The information is organized into ten tabular presentations with accompanying explanations. This report contains 12 references.(All)
