Document Description
Commercial fishing as an element of the Department's Pacific herring management program. The locations of the project are San Francisco Bay, Tomales Bay, Humboldt Bay and Crescent City Harbor. Herring are primarily harvested for their roe (eggs) during the months of December through March (spawning season) using small mesh gill nets to take whole fish. In addition, herring eggs on Kelp are taken by suspending giant kelp from rafts to be spawned upon, then harvesting the kelp with attached eggs.
