"Herring (Clupea pallasii) is vital to the productivity and health of marine systems,
and socio-ecologically is the most important fish species in the northern hemisphere,
where it is valued for its oil, bait, eggs, and sac roe. This comprehensive case study
traces the development of fisheries in Southeast Alaska from pre-contact indigenous
relationships to herring to the post-contact fisheries, with comparative reference
to other North Pacific cultures. Its interdisciplinary approach, which combines ethnological,
historical, archaeological, and political perspectives, makes Herring and People in
the North Pacific unique in literature on indigenous peoples, fisheries management,
and marine social-ecological systems.Among the volume's findings are that: *present
herring stocks, even in highly productive areas of Southeast Alaska and British Columbia,
are being managed in a depleted status, representing a fraction of their historical
abundance and distribution; * significant long-term impacts on herring distribution
and abundance have been anthropogenic; * human dependence on herring as a food resource
evolved through interactions with key spawning areas with abundant substrates for
egg deposition (such as macrocystis kelp, rockweed, and eelgrass); and * maintenance
of diverse spawning locations in Southeast Alaska is critical to conserving intraspecies
biodiversity. Local and traditional knowledge (LTK)-in combination with archeological,
historical, and biological data-is shown to play a critical role in developing understanding
of marine ecology, valuation of herring in North Pacific social-ecological systems,
and restoration of herring stocks toward their former abundance"
