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.

2020 tough year for some hatcheries

Juneau, Alaska (KINY) - The United Fishermen of Alaska recently held a webinar to discuss issues important to Alaska fishermen.
David Landis of the Southern Southeast Regional Aquaculture Association said 2020 was not a strong year for returns, "Chum production that pays for all the bills has been going down for nearly three years.  Last year we met 25% of our cost recovery goal for chum.  We are using reserves and taking advantage of state programs.  These are cyclical runs and we expect them to bounce back at some point."
