Anchorage, Alaska (KINY) - The State of Alaska plans to appeal a bitter ruling for the Alaska Southeast troll fishery by a federal judge in Washington. The order by U.S. District Court Judge Richard Jones upheld a magistrate’s earlier opinion by adopting, in part, a report and recommendation that vacates the incidental take statement for the Southeast Alaska winter and summer commercial chinook troll fishery, which has the practical effect of closing the fishery until a new ITS is in place.
