Description: Polygons in Puget Sound showing locations of documented Pacific Herring (Culpa harengus) adult holding areas (WDF, 1984, as ammended 1986). The polygons were later edited by Pat McAllister and most recently by Kurt Stick, and digitized by Dale Gombert, 2003, both WDFW. These polygons are documented Pacific herring (Culpa harengus) holding areas at specific sites throughout Puget Sound and Washington coastal areas and bays. Large numbers of adult herring from diverse parts of Puget sound congregate in a few major holding areas each winter prior to moving to their respective spawning grounds. Major holding areas include the Strait of Georgia, Bellingham Bay, the areas south and west of Protection Island, north Hood Canal and Hale Passage near Tacoma. Beasuse herring migrate considerable distances from their spawning grounds, impact on the critical habitats they utilize in one area could affect harvest or the food chain at other locations. Herring deposit their eggs on marine vegetation, eelgrass and various algae, in the shallow subtidal and intertidal zone generally at tidal elevations from +3 feet to -20 feet Mean Low Low Waterline (MLLW). Forage fish are small, pelagic schooling fish which are important as forage for predatory fish, birds, and mammals. They provide an important link in the food chain between zooplankton and piscivorous (fish-eating animals).

Copyright Text: This information was pulished as Technical Report 79, April 1992 Salmon, marine fish and shellfish resources and associated fisheries in Washington's coastal and inland mairne waters by the Habitat Management Division of the then Washington Department of Fisheries (WDF), now known as the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. This report resulted from the efforts of many individuals within WDF. Thom Hooper and Don Haring were project leaders for Habitat Management Division. Dick Allen, Brian Benson and Bill Graeber were the principal authors and Randy McIntosh provided the graphics for this report. Several other WDF personnel provided data for and/or reviewed portions of the report. They included Chuck Aldrich, Jon Anderson, Dan Ayers, Steve Berry, Alex Bradbury, Ray Buckley, Dick Bumgarner, Randy Carman, Theresa Clocksin, Anita Cook, Brian Culver, Wolf Dammers, Gary Davis, Dan Doty, Brett Dumbauld, Kurt Fresh, Lynn Goodwin, Mike Gross, Don Hendrick, Dwight Herren, Tom Jagielo, Gayle Kreitman, Paul LaRiviere, Doug Milward, Jim Norris, Tom Northup, Dan Pentilla, Cyreis Schmitt, Al Scholz, Doug Simons, Dennis Tufts, Wendy White, and Bill Wood. Special thanks are due to Dale Gombert of WDF for preparation of the majority of the maps and figures used in this report.
