Traditionally, the eggs of herring of Sitka Sound herring congregate on the branches of hemlock trees in spring. Scientists are able to determine how far the eggs travel, and the distance they lay when they’re shared. Research suggests that around 85 percent of the sitaka eggs laid are. Researchers are currently studying recipients and harvesters of herring eggs in an attempt to determine the spread and impacts it can have on the local ecosystem.

In Alaska, the natives view Herring to be an important cultural species.

Herring is one of the most important cultural species of Alaska Natives. It has been a major source of the food, livelihood, and sustenance from the beginning of time. Herrings are very nutritious and serves as an important linchpin of the complicated ocean food web. Herring populations have been declining over recent decades, due to the fishing industry’s focus on huge gravid females.

Herring eggs are prized as food

Scientists have discovered that nearly 50% of herring eggs that are found in Sitka stay within the village while the rest are shared with others. Harvester surveys have shown the eggs shared in places as far as Barrow and Bethel as well as Seattle and Hawaii. How much of this sharing is unknown. The Sitka Tribe researchers are continuing to study this phenomenon to learn more about how herring eggs move through the air when they are shared.

Herring egg distribution system

Researchers of members of the Sitka Tribe are studying the distribution of herring eggs. This method has a significant symbolic and spiritual significance for members of the Sitka Tribe. The important resource serves as the final stronghold for one of the world’s major essential species. The findings of the project have broader impact and may even help conserve the species for the future. Interviews with more than fifty people in the community, reviews of scientific literature and previous studies on this species led to the findings of the research team.

Herring distribution is complex. It is a complex concept with many interpretations. The concept is about linking, helping, and protecting those involved. The concept of Sitka Tribe herring is more significant. The study will study the way eggs from herring are distributed, and whether it is beneficial or damaging sharing eggs with others.

The act of sharing herring eggs is a sign of generosity, and is important in society. Sharing eggs with friends builds resilience, social capital, as well as extended relationships. Also, you’ll feel connected, happy, and secure. This is unlike any other resource that is part of the Southeast Alaska Native portfolio. Because the Sitka Tribe views herring as sacred, sharing herring eggs is a way to share a more profound meaning.
