Alaska Statewide Salmon Forecast for 2009

Posted: April 8th, 2009 | Author: Alaska Political News Wire | Filed under: 2009, AK DF&G Announcements, Alaska Political News Wire

(Juneau) – The Alaska Department of Fish and Game announces that the statewide commercial salmon harvest in 2009 is projected to total 174.8 million salmon of all species. This is an increase compared to 2008, with nearly all of this increase expected to come from improved pink salmon catches. Overall, pink and chum salmon harvests are expected to be higher than in 2008, while the Chinook, sockeye, and coho salmon harvests are expected to be similar to the actual harvests taken in 2008. This forecast would represent the 11th largest harvest since 1960, if achieved.
