Book excerpt: This report summarizes the 2022 season and historical commercial salmon fisheries of the South Alaska Peninsula Management Area (southern portion of Area M). The 2022 commercial salmon harvest (including the ADF&G test fishery) in the South Alaska Peninsula of Area M was 14,505 Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, 4,387,007 sockeye salmon O. nerka, 46,619 coho salmon O. kisutch, 5,864,792 pink salmon O. gorbuscha, and 822,314 chum salmon O. keta. Harvest of sockeye salmon was above the recent 10-year average (2012–2021). Harvest of Chinook, coho, pink, and chum salmon were all below the most recent 10-year averages. A total of 245 permit holders participated in the fishery. The June commercial salmon harvest included 3,204 Chinook, 3,905,017 sockeye, 169 coho, 1,201,771 pink, and 544,097 chum salmon. The post-June commercial salmon harvest, excluding the Southeastern District Mainland (SEDM) harvest from June 1–July 25, was 10,308 Chinook, 450,832 sockeye, 46,424 coho, 4,648,137 pink, and 269,680 chum salmon. Limited commercial fishing in the SEDM occurred between July 1–July 25 in the Orzinski Bay Section. Harvest in the Orzinski Bay Section included 7 Chinook, 15,177 sockeye, 2 coho, 7,236 pink, and 431 chum salmon. The South Alaska Peninsula post-June salmon harvest in the SEDM from July 1 through October 31 was 231 Chinook, 41,140 sockeye, 4,884 coho, 376,602 pink, and 35,970 chum salmon. In 2022, the Orzinski Lake sockeye salmon escapement of 17,283 sockeye salmon was within the sustainable escapement goal (SEG) of 15,000–20,000 sockeye salmon. Total escapement of pink salmon (5,177,350 fish) was above the South Alaska Peninsula SEG range of 1,750,000–4,000,000 fish. In the Southeastern District, chum salmon escapement was estimated at 155,702 fish, within the SEG of 106,400–212,800 fish. In the South Central District, chum salmon escapement was estimated at 167,700 fish, within the SEG range of 89,800–179,600 fish.
