    (3) The High Seas Salmon Fishery is administered in close 
coordination with ADF&G's administration of the State of Alaska's 
regulations governing the salmon troll fishery off Southeast Alaska. 
Because no commercial fishing for salmon is allowed in the EEZ west of 
Cape Suckling, all commercial salmon fishing west of Cape Suckling must 
take place in Alaska's territorial sea and, consequently, is subject to 
Alaska's management authority.
    (4) For State of Alaska statutes and regulations governing 
commercial fishing, see Alaska Statutes, title 16--Fish and Game; title 
5 of the Alaska Administrative Code, chapters 1-39.

salmon troll fishery, see 5 Alaska Administrative Code 30 (Yakutat 
Area), and 5 Alaska Administrative Code 33 (Southeastern Alaska Area).

Statutes, title 16--Fish and Game; 5 Alaska Administrative Codes 42.010
