3. Along the Pacific coast of Canada and the Alaska coastline, the population of sockeye salmon is at a historic low. Many are blaming Fukushima.

Good grief TJ, that article is one huge crap load of hysteria. For example, the author makes a false generalization about west coast salmon based on one particular run. In reality we had a pretty good year in Alaska. OK, maybe we caught all the Canadian fish... ;)

Alaska salmon harvest breaks new record
Published on 10 October, 2013

Alaska’s commercial salmon harvest has set an all-time record due primarily to large returns of pink salmon. The latest statewide total from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) puts this year’s salmon harvest at more than 269 million fish — shattering the previous record of 222 million fish landed in 2055.

Of that, pink salmon made up the majority of the landings with 216 million fish. More than 84 million pinks were taken in the seine fisheries in Prince William Sound and another 47 million were taken in the southern Southeast seine fisheries with another 38 million taken in the northern Southeast seine fishery. The pink harvest in the Kodiak area was well over 28-million fish.

This year’s statewide sockeye harvest totaled more than 29.5 million fish with more than 15.7 million sockeye taken in the Bristol Bay fishery.
