Alaska Fisheries Report – Oct. 18, 2018

The Alaska Board of Fish takes up the question of hatchery salmon.

A new video campaign shows the trickle down effects of the seafood tariffs and how tariffs hurt fishing related jobs.

The confused sea lion that wondered Sitka a while back seems to be doing just fine now. We know this because biologists attached a satellite tag to its flipper before releasing him.

And finally, a previously unknown marine invasive species is found in Ketchikan. We have an interesting piece on invasive species.

 

We had help from Aaron Bolton at KBBI in Homer. Enrique Perez de la Rosa at KCAW in Sitka. Leila Kheiry at KRBD in Ketchikan. And from Laine Welch at Alaska Fish Radio, with assistance from SeafoodNews.com.

As always a big thank you to everyone who helps make this program possible each week—including our listeners and the stations that air our show. For you fishermen, be safe. We and your families want you to come home safely.
