Section 5 AAC 58.026 - Shellfish harvest recording form required(a) Before harvesting shellfish with pots, a person must obtain a sport fishing shellfish harvest recording form, described in 5 AAC 75.016 and provided by the department. Upon taking shellfish with pots, and before concealing the shellfish from plain view or removing the shellfish from the fishing site, the person must enter the harvest and catch information requested in the form. A person who fails to comply with the requirements of this subsection or 5 AAC 75.016, including any requirement to return harvest and catch information to the department, may be ineligible to obtain a shellfish harvest recording form during the following season in the fishery for which the form was required, unless the permit applicant demonstrates to the department that failure to report was due to unavoidable circumstances.Eff. 2/25/98, Register 145; am 6/5/2003, Register 166; am 7/1/2006, Register 178; am 9/19/2019,Register 231, August 2019; am 6/21/2020, Register 234, July 2020
