King salmon vanish in Alaska leaving Yukon River hash
Alaska fisheries face a lean year as king salmon returns slump across rivers triggering closures. Biologists attribute declines to ocean conditions and bycatch in the pollock fishery, with pollock fleets accounting for up to a million metric tons and $1 billion wholesale value. The incident prompts tighter bycatch limits and a 2011 cap of 60,000 kings annually for the pollock fleet.
