The Alaska Fisheries Report

Coming up this week, sportsfishing interests in Soldotna are not giving up on their efforts to force a vote to ban setnets in Cook Inlet, there’s more quota for Southeast halibut fishermen, but less elsewhere, and a breakthrough in excluders for trawl nets might save more salmon. All that, and, when is a pollock a cod? Kinda… now – we’ll explain that, all coming up on the Alaska Fisheries Report. We had help from KFSK’s Joe Viechnicki in Petersburg, KUCB’s Lauren Rosenthal in Unalaska, Seafood dot com’s John Sackton in Lexington-Mass., APRN’s Steve Heimel in Anchorage and KDLG’s Dave Bendinger and Mike Mason in Dillingham.
