The Sitka sac roe herring fishery opened on Saturday. There was concern last week that diesel leaking from a grounded tugboat could travel as far as Hayward Strait, but southeast winds over the weekend may have stalled its southward spread.
Herring spawn visible near Inner Point on Kruzof Island on Sunday, March 27, 2022. The sac roe seine fishery opened in this area for one hour and 15 minutes the previous day.
Earlier in the week there was some concern that diesel fuel leaking from a tugboat grounded about 5 miles to the north. However, southeast winds over the weekend may have prevented further spread of fuel to the south. The additional constraint on the sac roe fishery is timing: The herring have to be landed just before they spawn, when the egg sacs in the females are at their ripest.
