Salmon wheels in Nenana Alaska spin for scarce run
In Nenana Alaska Charlie Stevens and his wife Gayle run a fish wheel to harvest salmon from the Yukon and Tanana rivers. The short season yielded about 15 000 fish for the Nenana quota, with eggs sold for brokers in Seattle and caviar retailing high. Stevens reports about eight thousand dollars income from the season, plus home use of catch. The pair froze thousands for their sled dogs and family, while subsistence rules limit sale of personal catch. The fish wheel, an old method brought north by the gold rush, has faced outlawing due to efficiency.
