• Alaska salmon harvests continue to track well behind last year for all species, but especially pinks (compared to 2022), coho, and keta.
• Salmon fishing has also been slow across the Bering Sea in Russia, according to trade publications. This represents a large drop from 2023, which was the second largest Russian salmon harvest on record.
• Alaska’s pink salmon harvest is down 63% from 2022, including a 73% drop in Prince William Sound, a key pink harvesting region. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game has attributed the low pink harvest in Prince William Sound to both smaller salmon runs and fewer boats participating in the fishery.
• As sockeye salmon season wraps up around the state, harvest is down year over year for all regions except Prince William Sound (+59%) and Cook Inlet (+6%). This year’s Cook Inlet harvest of 1.96 million sockeye salmon is the highest for the region since 2019.
