Synopsis of the Pacific herring spawn-on-kelp fishery in British Columbia / by J.F. Schweigert, J.S. Cleary, and P. Midgley. : Fs97-4/3148E-PDF

"The harvesting of Pacific herring (Clupea pallasi) eggs on evergreen boughs or seaweed has been undertaken by First Nations people for many generations and is an important cultural element of many of the coastal tribes in British Columbia. In Japan, herring eggs spawned or deposited on kelp, primarily Macrocystis integrifolia, has also been a traditional delicacy consumed primarily in conjunction with New Years celebrations. The collapse of Japanese herring populations during the 1960s resulted in an interest in developing a commercial herring egg on kelp or so-called spawn-on-kelp (SOK) fishery in British Columbia in the early 1970s. The focus of this report is a description of the history and development of the commercial SOK fishery and its practices and to document the distribution, quotas, effort, and harvests throughout this period to present and to recommend an approach for inclusion of the harvest in the stock assessment process"--Introd., p. [1].
