About Alaska Peninsula salmon harvest
The North and South Peninsula and Aleutian districts: purse seine and gillnet that intercept sockeye, pink and chum bound for systems all across western Alaska. This page tracks Alaska Peninsula's cumulative commercial salmon harvest from ADF&G's Blue Sheet, by species, against the area's preseason forecast. The numbers are common-property and cost-recovery catch in thousands of fish, preliminary and updated through the season; sport, subsistence and personal-use harvests are not included. Early low percentages are the run still building, not a weak year.
