Section 506. Chignik Area registration

5 AAC 28.506. Chignik Area registration

(a) The Chignik Area is a superexclusive registration area for Pacific cod during a state waters season described in 5 AAC 28.537.

(b) A vessel that is registered for the Chignik Area under 5 AAC 28.020 for a groundfish fishery, other than a state waters season for Pacific cod described in 5 AAC 28.537 or a directed fishery for black rockfish under this section, also shall be considered registered for that fishery in the Kodiak Area described in 5 AAC 28.400, the South Alaska Peninsula Area described in 5 AAC 28.550, the Bering Sea-Aleutian Islands Area described in 5 AAC 28.600, and the Chukchi-Beaufort Area described in 5 AAC 28.700.

(c) A vessel's salmon seine registration is automatically invalidated during the time period described in 5 AAC 28.530(e) when the vessel owner, or the owner's agent, has registered that vessel under 5 AAC 28.020 and this section to take groundfish with seine gear. The vessel's salmon seine registration becomes valid again when the prohibition described in 5 AAC 28.530(e) is not in effect or when the vessel owner, or the owner's agent, contacts a local representative of the department within the registration area in person or in writing, by mail or facsimile, and invalidates the vessel's groundfish registration.

(d) In the Chignik Area, before a person uses a vessel to operate gear in a directed fishery for black rockfish, the vessel owner, or the owner's agent, shall register the vessel with the department.

(e) The Chignik Area is a superexclusive registration area for black rockfish.
