Sockeye salmon see a record harvest in 2022, helping to reduce the value lost in the 2022 all species harvest for Alaskan salmon.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - Sockeye salmon had a record harvest in 2022, even though the statewide all species harvest saw a decrease in both value and total fish harvested.
“Conditions in the Bering Sea have been favorable for sockeye salmon productivity,” said Forrest Bowers, the division operations manager with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Bowers explained that warmer winters have made for a favorable rearing environment in the Bering Sea and fresh water lakes.
While the sockeye harvest was large, the pink salmon harvest was down. Pink salmon only made up 43% of the 2022 harvest but, “typically... pink salmon represent the largest contributor to salmon harvest volume statewide,” said Bowers. In 2021 about 156 million pinks were harvest. This played a huge part in the 31% decrease in total harvest numbers for 2022.
