Alaska sockeye set for another record year, but other salmon species are struggling | IntraFish
Alaska’s 2022 sockeye salmon forecast is predicted to interrupt data with a forecasted harvest of 74 million fish, however different salmon species in Alaska probably face one other difficult yr.
Almost 74 p.c of the 270 million kilos of sockeye salmon harvested in Alaska in 2021 got here from Bristol Bay. Dan Lesh, an economist with McKinley Analysis Group, estimates Bristol Bay fishermen will harvest round 282 million kilos of sockeye this yr, outpacing any harvest since 2017.
