The Alaska Department of Fish and Game is projecting a 2017 commercial salmon catch of more than 204 million fish.

Sitka herring recap
The Sitka Sound sac roe herring fishery has come and gone, and it appears to have been a good season for seiners and processors.
The industry achieved a full harvest of 14,600 tons, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game said today in an announcement closing the fishery.
Deckboss heard no reports this year of vessel collisions or other nastiness in the notoriously feisty fishery.
We've also heard nothing at all about prices paid for herring. If you have details, please share!
