Predicted harvests areas include the Gulf of Alaska, the Bering Sea, and the Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim region.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - The Dept. Fish & Game has released their 2023 salmon harvest projections for Alaska. This year the state is projected to see an increase to a harvest of around 189 million salmon. The projected harvest is slated to be nearly 30 million more fish than last years actual harvest.
While most of the harvest will be caught in the Gulf of Alaska and the Bering Sea, the Dept. of Fish & Game included predicted harvests for the Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim region as well. The interior falls in this region, stretching from the Bering Sea to the Canadian border, West to East. North to South, the region spans from the Beaufort Sea on the North Slope to the northern reaches of the Alaska Range.
Chinook salmon in the Kuskokwim area are expected to see a total run between 114,000 and 173,000. The escapement goal for the area is between 26,000 and 104,000 fish. No commercial harvest is planned for 2023.
