Coming up this week: Togiak herring wrapped up, cannery workers in Platinum will be making bank this summer, and the North Pacific Fishery Management Council is set to make a final decision on Gulf King bycatch. All that, and yes, more fish-smuggling in the news – at least this time it wasn’t in their pants. The Alaska Fisheries Report came …

Coming up this week, things are starting to wind down in Togiak; more Kuskokwim fishermen are found guilty of king fishing during a closure, and fishing for zombies. This week’s Alaska Fisheries Report was made possible with the contributions of KDLG’s Mike Mason in Dillingham, KYUK’s Angela Denning-Barnes in Bethel, and KUOW’s Ashley Ahern in Seattle.

Coming up this week, Copper River opens, Togiak opens, Kodiak is a little slow and they’re done in Seymour Canal. Plus, why does the largest CDQ group want to get even bigger? The Alaska Fisheries Report was made possible with contributions from KCHU’s Tony Gorman in Valdez, KSKA’s Ellen Lockyer in Anchorage, KDLG’s Mike Mason in Dillingham, KFSK’s Matt Lichtenstein …

Coming up this, we look westward for our fishy news. In Togiak, the only thing missing is the herring, while just around the corner there’s renewed interest in Kuskokwim Bay herring. Fishermen in Quinhagak are doing their part to preserve the might king salmon, and a small processor in Unalaska is going world-wide. It was made possible with the contributions …

Coming up this week, harvest restrictions are expected for the Yukon River, but the Kuskokwim River may see more salmon going to fishermen. The latest EPA assessment claims a large mine in Bristol Bay would affect salmon habitat and the future of the state’s film tax program. …

Coming up this week, Bristol Bay fishermen will be surveyed about how they feel about a permit buy-back, Alaska salmon is getting a good reception on the world stage, and an State Representative returns from Canada’s smallest province after asking them to oppose genetically engineered salmon. We had help this week from KUCB’s Stephanie Joyce in Unalaska, Seafood.com’s John Sackton …

Coming up this week, the king quota is down again in Southeast while a small Petersburg salmon packer is getting substantially bigger, and the Business of Fish. We had help from KFSK’s Matt Lichtenstein in Petersburg, KDLG’s Mike Mason in Dillingham and KHNS contributor Tara Bicknell in Haines.

Coming up this week, the State Legislature throws a commercial fisherman off the Board of Fish, Kodiak’s mayors are upset with Trident, and a new pilot program could help you save money running your boat. All that, and one processor will start the salmon season offering a dollar a pound across the board. We had help from KMXT’s Brianna Gibbs …
