Section 51. King crab gear marking requirements

5 AAC 34.051. King crab gear marking requirements

(a) At least one buoy on each king crab pot or ring net must be legibly marked with the permanent ADF&G vessel license plate number of the king crab vessel operating the gear. The buoy must bear only the number of the vessel used in operating the gear. The number shall be painted on the top one-third of the buoy in numerals at least four inches high, one-half inch wide, and in a color contrasting to that of the buoy. The buoy markings must be visible on the buoy above the water surface when the buoy is attached to the crab pot.

(b) In registration areas where a king crab pot limit is in effect, each king crab pot must have one identification tag issued by the department placed on the main buoy or on the trailer buoy if more than one buoy is attached to the pot.

(c) Identification tags are issued before each fishing season, are uniquely numbered for each registration year, and will be issued at the time of vessel registration for that vessel only. The vessel owner, or the owner's agent, shall apply for identification tags at a department office designated to issue the tags. Replacement of tags lost during the season is permitted if the vessel operator submits a sworn statement or affidavit describing how the tags were lost and listing the numbers of the lost tags. Tags shall be renewed annually before each fishing season.
