The bill would authorize "the cultivation and sale of certain finfish in natural or artificial inland, closed-system bodies of water," said a letter from the governor to House Speaker Bryce Edgmon.
It would prohibit farming pink, chum, sockeye, coho, Chinook and Atlantic salmon.

Maybe the folks along the Yukon can grow some carp to eat. Who needs salmon anyway.
So, what kind of fish are we talking about with this bill? Arctic char?

House Speaker Bryce Edgmon, I-Dillingham, and Rep. Louise Stutes, R-Kodiak, issued a joint statement opposing the governor's legislation:

It's a big nothing. Who is going to go build a trout farming business when we hardly can sell salmon?
Dunleavy forgot he is governor of Alaska. He thinks he is in the Midwest. From his interview, it is so we can all grow fish in our stock tanks out back.
'The fishing community has nothing to fear.'
