An oversight panel in Alaska has made recommendations to distribute Bering Sea fish and crab harvest shares among Alaska Native seafood companies.

The recommendations apply to the Coastal Villages Region Fund, Norton Sound Economic Development Corp., Bristol Bay Economic Development Corp., Aleutian Pribilof Island Community Development Association, Yukon Delta Fisheries Development Association and Central Bering Sea Fishermen's Association.

The allocations include pollock, king and snow crab, Pacific cod, halibut and several other species of fish.

Federal approval is needed to validate the shares through 2005.
