The CMA encompasses all coastal waters and inland drainages of the northwest Gulf of Alaska between Kilokak Rocks and Kupreanof Point. All 5 species of North American Pacific salmon were commercially harvested in the CMA: Chinook O. tshawytscha, sockeye O. nerka, coho O. kisutch, pink O. gorbuscha, and chum O. keta salmon. In 2022, the Chignik River Chinook salmon O. tshawytscha estimated escapement of 761 fish was below the escapement goal range of 1,300 to 2,700 fish. The 2022 Chignik River early-run sockeye salmon O. nerka estimated escapement of 412,228 fish was within the escapement goal range of 350,000 to 450,000 fish for the first time since 2017. The late-run sockeye salmon estimated escapement of 395,858 fish met the late-run escapement goal range of 220,000 to 400,000 fish. The total 2022 CMA sockeye salmon harvest of 334,704 fish was above the recent 5-year average but well below long-term averages. The 2022 indexed peak pink salmon escapement estimate of 303,600 fish was above the even-year sustainable escapement goal (SEG) range of 170,000 to 280,000 fish. The indexed peak escapement of 73,200 chum salmon was within the SEG range of 45,000 to 110,000 fish. CMA coho, pink, and chum salmon harvests were below recent averages. A total of 35 CMA permit holders made deliveries in 2022. The exvessel value for commercial salmon harvest in the CMA for 2022 totaled approximately $3.7 million.
