Good salmon year for some, not so for others

摘要

The 2011 salmon season opened with hopes for an epic haul — 203.5 million fish, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game forecast. As usual, the state did produce a prodigious catch. But, at press time, it appeared the harvest would fall well short of projection. On Aug. 26, with fleets standing down for the season, the all-species catch stood at about 16.1 million fish.
