Book excerpt: This report contains a detailed review of Alaska’s 2020 commercial salmon season and harvest forecasts for 2021. The Alaska all-species salmon harvest for 2020 totaled 118.3 million, about 14.4 million fewer fish than the preseason forecast of 132.7 million fish. This combined harvest was composed of 272,000 Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, 46.4 million sockeye salmon O. nerka, 2.4 million coho salmon O. kisutch, 60.7 million pink salmon O. gorbuscha, and 8.6 million chum salmon O. keta. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game is expecting an increase in commercial salmon harvests in 2021. The 2021 total commercial salmon harvest (all species) projection of 190.1 million is expected to include 269,000 Chinook salmon, 46.6 million sockeye salmon, 3.8 million coho salmon, 124.2 million pink salmon, and 15.3 million chum salmon. Compared to 2020 commercial harvests, the projected 2021 commercial harvests are expected to be as follows: 63.5 million more pink salmon, 203,000 more sockeye salmon, 1.4 million more coho salmon, and 6.7 million more chum salmon.
