Alaska Department of Fish and Game 2006 internal review of Prince William Sound Aquaculture Corporation

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) supports the continued operation of the Prince William Sound Aquaculture Corporation (PWSAC) hatcheries, located along the Prince William Sound and in Gulkana River basin. However, this report discusses PWSAC's record of on-going problems, most of which PWSAC had neither corrected nor explained despite opportunity to address these issues. Due to the number and seriousness of unresolved problems, ADF&G initiated this internal review as the first step of a performance review. The goal of this internal review is to document problems and recommend corrective measures to help PWSAC improve operations and meet permit obligations. Describes numerous permit compliance issues, general problems, and performance violations involving some conditions under which their permits are granted.
