Proposals for the Board's consideration and action had been made by the staff of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, members of the Board, Advisory Com- mittees, and the general public. The proposals adopted by the Board will be incorporated into the 1961 regula- tions for Alaska's sport fish, game, and commercial fisheries. All three are issued separately. The commercial fishery regulations were expected to be ready for distribution sometime in March 1961. The regulations will provide the rules under which several hundred million pounds of fishery resources can be harvested along a vast segment of the Alaskan- Coast extending north through Southeastern Alaska, Yakutat, Prince William Sound, Cook Inlet, Kodiak, Alaska Peninsula, the Aleutian Islands, Bristol Bay, and the Yukon and Kuskokwim Rivers. The Board approved a regulation which specifies that all subsistence fishing in Southeast Alaska be done under authority of a permit issued by the Department of Fish and Game. The Board approved a regulation which specifies that king crabs may be taken in Southeast Alaska by pots only. The use of otter trawls with a ground line or head line less than 60 feet in length may be used to take king crab-pot bait. Of considerable interest throughout Southeast Alaska was the opening dskte for the purse-seine fishery. The Board agreed to carry over the 1960 regulations to 1961. Accordingly, the Icy Strait, Eastern, and Western Dis- tricts will open on June 26, and the other districts will open as specified in the 1960 regulations. All Southeast gill-net areas will remain the same in 1961 as in 1960, except for
