Salmon numbers still struggling across Alaska:
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Low numbers of salmon continue to frustrate those who rely on some of the state’s largest fisheries.
“When you have these conflicting goals of harvesting sockeye and trying to manage for king salmon escapement, it gets really complex,” Sands said. Further west, a similar situation is occurring in the Kuskokwim River area, where around 142,000 king salmon were expected — but with current trends, the run is expected to be below even that number.
“For the last three years, we haven’t got to fish at all and so it’s very ... it hurts. Our culture really depends on king salmon and chum,” Yukon River Intertribal Fish Commission chair Karma Ulvi said. Down south, the president of the Area M Seiners Association Kiley Thompson said commercial fishermen in the area voluntarily took time off during the June fishery to avoid Western Alaskan chum salmon.
