The Commerce Department appointed one new member, and one old, to the North Pacific Fishery Management Council Thursday.

Duncan Fields will retain his seat for a third term as one of Alaska’s representatives on the council. Fields is a fisherman and natural resources consultant from Kodiak.

David Long will take over Councilor Sam Cotten’s seat. Cotten would have been eligible for a third term, but wasn’t nominated by Gov. Sean Parnell. Long is a commercial fisherman from Wasilla.

The appointments are for three-year terms, starting in August.
