OPINION

RABINOWITZ, Justice.

The F/V Alert, owned and captained by Melvin Wick, disappeared in the Shelikof Straits near Kodiak Island in February 1985. This appeal arises from wrongful death claims that Anna L. Basel and others (collectively Basel), in their capacities as personal representatives of four deceased crew members of the F/V Alert, asserted against the participants in a Magnuson Act joint fishing venture.
