This announcement supersedes Prince William Sound Herring Announcement #2.
Herring pound structures where spawn-on-kelp has been removed and that have little to no herring eggs adhering to structure components may be moved and removed from the water.
Leads associated with herring pounds must be maintained in their original configuration for not less than four weeks in their original configuration with adequate water circulation on all sides to optimize egg hatching. Not later than six weeks after spawn-on-kelp was removed from a pound, any remaining pound structures and leads must be removed from the water.
