Salmon notes

• The Bristol Bay salmon catch now stands at 36.4 million fish, surpassing the state's preseason forecast of 34.8 million sockeye.

• Statewide, the all-species salmon harvest now exceeds 54 million fish.

• The state closed commercial fishing Sunday in the Chignik Bay District due to a fuel spill within Chignik Lagoon.

Former OBI plants in the Bay are performing better than ever. It's amazing what a little bit of knowledge, some efficiencies, and some brains in the wheelhouse will do. Good riddance to OB management.
