Figures 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. Percent of forecast is a share of the full-season projection, not a good-or-bad call. ADF&G's own statewide roll-up still adds Kodiak from the same Blue Sheet row this site holds back, so the statewide figures here understate the season by that shortfall. ## Where coho salmon are caught Coho, the fleet's silvers, range farther than any other Alaska salmon, from Southeast Alaska north to the Chukchi Sea and far up rivers like the Yukon. Southeast's troll fishery, the same fleet that targets Chinook, takes the largest share of the statewide commercial coho catch. Cook Inlet, Prince William Sound and the Kodiak and Alaska Peninsula seine and gillnet fisheries all take coho too, mostly as part of a mixed-species season rather than as a fishery built around coho alone. A mature coho typically runs 8 to 12 pounds, smaller than a big Chinook but in the same range as a large sockeye. ## Season and market Coho are the last of the five species to run, with Alaska's peak typically in August and September, after sockeye and pink have largely finished and as chum fisheries are winding down. That late timing makes coho the fishery that closes out the commercial salmon season in most areas. Ex-vessel prices for coho typically land between the higher prices Chinook and sockeye bring and the lower prices paid for pink and chum, though the exact ranking shifts by area and year. Coho flesh has less fat and a milder flavor than sockeye, with a softer texture, which shapes how it's marketed relative to the richer, higher-priced species that run earlier in the season. ## About this data - Source: ADF&G Preliminary Alaska Commercial Salmon Catch Report (Blue Sheet), over the April preseason forecast - Series: Statewide cumulative harvest by area - Basis: Common-property and hatchery cost-recovery catch, preliminary - Geography: Statewide, by area - Unit: thousand fish - Calculation period: Cumulative in-season - Last observation: Sep 7, 2026 - Update frequency: Up to twice daily in season --- Cite: Alaska coho salmon harvest: 1.24M fish statewide, 51% of forecast as of Sep 7, 2026 (The Run).
