Over the past several years, the department has undergone an extensive effort to correct and provide for accurate descriptions of commercial salmon fishing districts, sections, statistical areas, and closed waters. District and section layers are delineated based on Alaska Fish and Game Laws and Regulations as described in 5 AAC 33.200. Statistical areas are not defined in regulation, but internally defined within ADF&G. For general guidance, registration areas are divided first into di Statistical areas included in the commercial fishing districts and sections in Southeast Alaska are used for salmon, shellfish, and miscellaneous shellfish fisheries for reporting harvest within Southeast Alaska. <\/SPAN><\/P>

Districts are the largest unit within the overall registration areas followed by subdistricts, sections. and statistical areas. Subdistricts and sections are not applicable to all salmon registration areas. Salmon districts are divided by points/lines defined in ADF&G regulations<\/SPAN><\/P>
