Alaska Statutes Title 16. Fish and Game § 16.10.173. Utilization of commercially taken herring

(1) “flesh” means all muscular body tissue surrounding the bony skeleton of the herring;

(2) “person” has the meaning given in AS 01.10.060 and also includes a joint venture;

(3) “waste” means the failure to use the flesh of commercially taken herring for reduction to meal, production of fish food, human consumption, food for domestic animals, scientific or educational purposes, or round herring bait. Normal, inadvertent loss of flesh associated with the uses described in this subsection that cannot be prevented by practical means does not constitute waste. The commissioner may authorize other uses of commercially taken herring consistent with the intent of this section and AS 16.10.172 upon receipt of a request accompanied by a detailed justification.
