FRESH/FROZEN IN ALASKA,the future of wild keta salmon and the environment are more important than the immediate opportunities for harvest. A WILD RESOURCE, there is variability in the number of salmon that return to freshwater to spawn annually. Managers in Alaska set 'ESCAPEMENT GOALS'using the best science available to ensure enough sh return safely to the freshwater spawning grounds to reproduce. Biologists account for natural uctuations in returns of salmon by managing the sheries in-season to ensure the sustainability of Alaska's wild keta salmon.

Families in Alaska's coastal communities DEPEND ON SUBSISTENCE SALMONfishing to survive. In Alaska's salmon fisheries management, subsistence has priority before sport, commercial or personal use fishing. ALASKA’S WILD SALMON belong to the genus Oncorhynchus,a name formed by combining two Greek words, onco (meaning hooked or barb) and rhyno(meaning nose), a name given due to the hooked or ‘kype’ nose seen on spawning males. The genus OncorhynchusDISTINGUISHES WILD PACIFICsalmon from other fish that have the common name ‘salmon’ including trout and farmed varieties.ROE KETA SALMONWil ALASKA CANNEDGEAR TYPE Troll GillnetPurse Sein
