Hatchery board to revisit Crystal Lake king salmon in March Posted by Joe Viechnicki | Dec 23, 2020 King and coho salmon are raised in raceways at Crystal Lake Hatchery about 17 miles south of Petersburg on Mitkof Island. (Alexis Kenyon/KFSK) The board of a regional non-profit hatchery association may change its releases for king salmon from Crystal Lake hatchery south of Petersburg. That’s after the Southern Southeast Regional Aquaculture Association lost a portion of its state funding for that facility. The SSRAA board is hoping that funding can be restored. However, in March they’ll consider reducing or relocating Crystal Lake king salmon normally caught by the sport fishing fleet if it’s not.
