The Alaska Fisheries Report

Coming up this week, federal workers are back to work, which means crab fishermen are, too. The government shutdown may impair research on an emerging fishery, and five well-prepared fishermen are safe after their boat burns in the Aleutian Islands. All that, plus, spawn-on-kelp; yeah, it’s exactly what it sounds like, coming up on the Alaska Fisheries Report. We had help from KTOO’s Rosemarie Alexander in Juneau, KUCB’s Lauren Rosenthal in Unalaska, KUAC’s Emily Schwing in Fairbanks, KDLG’s Mike Mason in Dillingham and KRBD’s Leila Kheiry in Wrangell.
