Salmon Pink
Alaska's Commercial Salmon Fishery
In Alaska, salmon come first. Alaska has a long and successful track record of managing and conserving its abundant salmon resources. Record salmon runs with a recent average annual catch of 165 million salmon is the proof of this successful approach.
Nearly 95% of all commercially caught salmon in the US are harvested in Alaska. Alaska is the top producer of wild, high-value salmon, producing nearly 80 percent of the world supply of king, sockeye, and coho. Alaska's commercial salmon fishery is vital to the Alaskan economy and the Alaskan way of life.
Each year, the salmon industry provides thousands of jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars to the state's economy. Commercial fishing is critical to communities and fishing
families throughout the state.
Alaska's fishing industry leads the state in providing 47% of private sector jobs, and is second only to the oil industry in providing revenue to the state. In 2002, the exvessel value for combined fisheries totaled $955 million with $162 million from salmon.
Salmon fishing permits are issued to individuals, not corporations, through the "limited entry permit system". The total number of available permits for each fishery is strictly limited. Fishermen may not own more than one salmon permit for the same gear type and area. This creates a fishery made up of many individuals and families.
Three main gear types catch Alaska salmon: trolling, gillnetting, and purse seining. All commercial salmon fishing boats are relatively small vessels; averaging 30 to 50 feet.
Trollers use long trolling poles to pull or troll 2 to 4 deep weighted lines through the water, each with 8 - 12 leaders attached. At the end of each leader there is a lure or baited hook. Boat size varies from small skiffs to vessels of 50 feet or more with most ranging between 25 to 40 feet.
Trollers primarily target king, coho, and pink salmon as they enter Alaskan waters on their way to the spawning grounds. Trollers catch a relatively low volume of high-quality fish. The fish they catch are bright and vigorous from fresh ocean waters. They are often
sold dressed, or filleted in the fresh or fresh frozen market.
Gillnetters set curtain-like nets in the water suspended from a float line at the surface and a weighted lead line along the submerged bottom edge. Nets vary in length from 900 to 1800 feet long. The net's mesh openings are just large enough to allow an adult fish head to get through and become entangled at the gills.
There are two types of gillnets; driftnets that are free floating from boats, and setnets that have one end attached to the shoreline. Boat size is limited to 32 feet or less in Bristol Bay; otherwise, the average range is 30 to 40 feet. Gillnetters primarily harvest sockeye, chum and coho.
Purse Seiners use a large floating net, pulled and set in circle by a power skiff, to surround schooling salmon. The weighted "purse line" at bottom of the net is drawn closed to contain the fish. The net full of fish is then gathered to the boat through a highpowered hydraulic block.
Purse seiners are not allowed north of the Alaska Peninsula; boat size is limited to 58 feet. Purse Seiners harvest mainly pink salmon near the shoreline and close to fresh water spawning grounds where runs are highly concentrated.
About the Author
Alaska fishing legend is home to salmon runs so thick you can walk across their backs, halibut so big they're called barn doors, and bottom fish so plentiful, fishing for them is called "catching".
I have a tin of pink salmon in the cupboard, what can I make with it?
I actually just made this the other day and was very impressed. They're basically potato/salmon cakes, but taste delicious.
1 lb. potatoes, peeled and quartered
6 Tbsp. butter
2 scallions, finely chopped
handful of finely chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 lb. canned salmon, drained
2/3 cup light olive oil, for frying
Cook potatoes in water until soft. Drain , place in bowl and mash with butter, scallions, parsley.
Break salmon into pieces and mis into potatoes. Add seasoning to taste. (if it seems thick, add some milk)
Shape into medium sized patties, lay on plate, cover, and refridgerate until firm.
Heat oil in frying pan. Add fish cakes and cook for a few minutes on each side, until brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Then, enjoy!
