Book excerpt: The purpose of this document is to provide commercial salmon fishermen and buyers with information and guidelines used by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) to manage the commercial salmon fisheries of the North Alaska Peninsula during 2020. The 2020 projected North Alaska Peninsula salmon harvest is 2,667,800 fish: 2,800 Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, 2,400,000 sockeye salmon O. nerka, 65,000 coho salmon O. kisutch, 50,000 pink salmon O. gorbuscha, and 150,000 chum salmon O. keta. The bulk of the salmon harvest is projected to occur in the Northern District between the Nelson Lagoon and Outer Port Heiden sections. The predominant gear types used in the North Alaska Peninsula are drift and set gillnets, though purse seine is a legal gear type in some areas. In 2020, salmon enumeration weirs on the Nelson, Bear, Sandy, and Ilnik rivers will be used to facilitate inseason escapement assessment and management.
