Alaska Fisheries Report

Coming up this week, reports from NOAA bring good news about America’s fisheries, attention in Bristol Bay turns from herring to salmon. All that, and yes, another reality show set in Alaska. We had help from KDLG’s Mike Mason in Dillingham and KYUK’s Ben Matheson in Bethel.

Coming up this week, there is still herring quota available in Togiak Bay, the Southeast winter troll season set a record, and there could be more strife out on the Y-K Delta this year. We had help from KDLG’s Mike Mason in Dillingham, KCAW’s Robert Woolsey in Sitka, KYUK’s Ben Matheson in Bethel, and KTOO’s Casey Kelly in Juneau.

Coming up this week, Togiak herring season is open, but there’s something less than a mad rush to get nets in the water; winter king trolling has wrapped up in Southeast, and the possibility of a herring transplant. We had help from KDLG’s Mike Mason in Dillingham, KCAW’s Robert Woolsey and Emily Foreman in Sitka, and KFSK’s Joe Viechnicki in …

Coming up this week, a Washington based fishing company is reminded not to drag in the Eastern Gulf, there was a pretty good payday during the second round of pollock roe auctions in Seattle, and there’ll be more information about marine science than you ever imagined presented at a symposium in Kodiak this week. All that, plus the herring focus …

Coming up this week, it’s ComFish time in Kodiak, we have reaction to the possibility of no king salmon fishing at all this summer in the Y-K Delta, and another fishermen’s bar goes smoke free, all that and more coming up on the Alaska Fisheries Report. We had help from KMXT’s Brianna Gibbs in Kodiak, KSTK’s Shady Grove Oliver in …

Coming up this week, fisheries in the far west may see less restrictions after another look at what’s causing the Steller sea lion decline in the Aleutians, they’re going to give seining for pollock a try around Kodiak, and what it’s like smack in the middle of the barely controlled frenzy that is a Sitka Sound sac roe herring opening, …

Coming up this week: herring, herring, herring. And, No Fish Tax For You! All that and more this week, on the Alaska Fisheries Report. We had help this week from KDLG’s Mike Mason in Dillingham, KCAW’s Rachel Waldholz in Sitka, and KUAC’s Dan Bross in Fairbanks.

Coming up this week, one fisherman remembers that beautiful Friday evening 50 years ago when life in coastal Southcentral Alaska was turned upside down; others remember that chilly morning 25 years ago when life in coastal Southcentral Alaska was turned upside down again. And is it possible to restore one of the biggest salmon runs in history after so many …

Coming up this week, the fleet is on two-hour notice for Sitka herring, the halibut quota for CDQ fisheries are down this year, an explosion aboard a factory trawler takes the life of one crewman, and going for geoduck. We had help from KYUK’s Ben Matheson in Bethel, KUCB’s Lauren Rosenthal in Unalaska, KDLG’s Mike Mason in Dillingham, KRBD’s Leila …

Coming up this week, the halibut season is underway now, and we get a little refresher on the regulation changes for 2014; the herring GHL in Sitka has been reduced, and what’s a fishing town supposed to do when it’s told to diversify its economy? We had help from KCAW’s Rachel Waldholz in Sitka, and KFSK’s Angela Denning in Petersburg.
