The Alaska Fisheries Report

Coming up this week, Walmart officials seem sound open to accepting Alaska salmon – even without MSC approval; Bristol Bay gillnetting permits are increasing in prices, even though this summer didn’t live up to expectations, and the fella who’s towed more grounded fishing boats off the rocks than almost anyone, sells his company – but doesn’t retire. All that and how bloggers might help salmon sales. We had help from KDLG’s Mike Mason in Dillingham, KUCB’s Lauren Rosenthal in Unalaska and KCHU’s Tony Gorman in Valdez.
