In tne Bering Sea the stocks of akibas have not been depleted by .
shore-based hunting, and they probably amount to 350,D00 or 400,000.
In order to conserve and restore the stocks of akibas in tue Jea of
Okhotsk, limits on ship-based hunting there were imposed as follows;
in 1969, 32,000; in 1970, 26,000; and in 1972, 25,000, while the
taking of akibas from ships in the Bering - ea was prohibited. The
shore-based kill by the local population in the Sen of Okhotsk and
the Bering Sea was not restricted until 1970, but since 1970 shorebased
killing of akibas has also been subject to linits.
