Book Description
The Lower Cook Inlet Management Area consists of all coastal waters and inland drainages entering waters north of Cape Douglas, west of Cape Fairfield, and south of Anchor Point. In 2022, commercial harvest was approximately 751 thousand salmon and was composed of 403,035 pink Oncorhynchus gorbuscha, 292,845 sockeye O. nerka, 53,793 chum O. keta, 1,000 coho O. kisutch, and 275 Chinook salmon O. tshawytscha. Approximately 74.4% of the harvest (555,953 salmon) was sold as common property harvest, and 191,169 salmon were sold for hatchery cost recovery, including carcass sales. Homepack and donated fish (3,826 salmon) accounted for less than 1% of the harvest. Based on fish ticket reporting, the preliminary value of the commercial salmon harvest was $3.7 million, including hatchery sales. During the 2022 season, 15 set gillnet and 11 purse seine permit holders reported commercial deliveries. An additional 3 set gillnet permit holders harvested salmon as home pack and did not report any commercial deliveries. Set gillnet harvest value was an estimated $333,816, with average permit earnings of $22,254. Purse seine fishery exvessel harvest value was an estimated $2.1 million, with average permit earnings of $187,868. Revenue generated by cost recovery for hatchery operations was approximately $1.3 million. A total of 1,531 salmon were harvested in the Kachemak Bay personal use set gillnet fishery.

Book Description
This report is a summary of the 2022 season and historical data concerning management of the commercial salmon fisheries of the Northwestern and Northern Districts of the North Alaska Peninsula in the Alaska Peninsula Management Area (Area M). Most commercial salmon fishing effort on the North Alaska Peninsula targeted sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka. The 2022 commercial salmon harvest on the North Alaska Peninsula was 887 Chinook O. tshawytscha, 3,604,235 sockeye, 7,711 coho O. kisutch, 12,362 pink O. gorbuscha, and 14,095 chum O. keta salmon. The North Peninsula Chinook salmon harvest was below the 10-year average (2012–2021) of 1,879 fish. The sockeye salmon harvest in the Northern District of 3,548,252 fish exceeded the 10-year average harvest of 2,208,966 fish. The North Alaska Peninsula chum salmon harvest of 14,095 fish was below the 10-year average of 137,651 chum salmon, with nearly all (9,316 fish) of the harvest occurring in the Izembek-Moffet Bay Section of the Northwestern District. The total exvessel value of all North Peninsula fisheries is estimated to be $29.3 million. The exvessel value was well above the recent 10-year average of $17.0 million. The majority of the North Peninsula fisheries’ value is composed of sockeye salmon harvested in the Northern District ($28.8 million).

Book Description
This report summarizes the 2022 season and historical commercial salmon fisheries of the South Alaska Peninsula Management Area (southern portion of Area M). The 2022 commercial salmon harvest (including the ADF&G test fishery) in the South Alaska Peninsula of Area M was 14,505 Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, 4,387,007 sockeye salmon O. nerka, 46,619 coho salmon O. kisutch, 5,864,792 pink salmon O. gorbuscha, and 822,314 chum salmon O. keta. Harvest of sockeye salmon was above the recent 10-year average (2012–2021). Harvest of Chinook, coho, pink, and chum salmon were all below the most recent 10-year averages. A total of 245 permit holders participated in the fishery. The June commercial salmon harvest included 3,204 Chinook, 3,905,017 sockeye, 169 coho, 1,201,771 pink, and 544,097 chum salmon. The post-June commercial salmon harvest, excluding the Southeastern District Mainland (SEDM) harvest from June 1–July 25, was 10,308 Chinook, 450,832 sockeye, 46,424 coho, 4,648,137 pink, and 269,680 chum salmon. Limited commercial fishing in the SEDM occurred between July 1–July 25 in the Orzinski Bay Section. Harvest in the Orzinski Bay Section included 7 Chinook, 15,177 sockeye, 2 coho, 7,236 pink, and 431 chum salmon. The South Alaska Peninsula post-June salmon harvest in the SEDM from July 1 through October 31 was 231 Chinook, 41,140 sockeye, 4,884 coho, 376,602 pink, and 35,970 chum salmon. In 2022, the Orzinski Lake sockeye salmon escapement of 17,283 sockeye salmon was within the sustainable escapement goal (SEG) of 15,000–20,000 sockeye salmon. Total escapement of pink salmon (5,177,350 fish) was above the South Alaska Peninsula SEG range of 1,750,000–4,000,000 fish. In the Southeastern District, chum salmon escapement was estimated at 155,702 fish, within the SEG of 106,400–212,800 fish. In the South Central District, chum salmon escapement was estimated at 167,700 fish, within the SEG range of 89,800–179,600 fish.

Book Description
This is the 2022 edition of the annual management report describing commercial fishery management and results for salmon and herring in the Prince William Sound Management Area. This report also describes subsistence and personal use salmon fisheries. In 2022, approximately 33 million salmon were harvested in the Prince William Sound commercial salmon fishery including hatchery and miscellaneous harvest (homepack, confiscated, and donated fish): 14,000 Chinook Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, 1.70 million sockeye O. nerka, 104,000 coho O. kisutch, 28.44 million pink O. gorbuscha, and 3.1 million chum salmon O. keta. Additionally, 4.72 million salmon were sold for hatchery cost recovery. During 2022, 454 drift gillnet, 26 set gillnet, and 206 purse seine permit holders harvested salmon (Table 1). The estimated value, including hatchery sales, was approximately $99.37 million. Exvessel values were $29.64 million from drift gillnets, $2.15 million from set gillnets, and $43.64 million from purse seines. Revenue from hatchery cost recovery and raceway sales was $23.94 million. Approximately 3,380 subsistence and 9,270 personal use permits were issued, and there was a total combined harvest of 231,000 salmon. The commercial fishery for Pacific herring Clupea pallasii was closed in 2022 for the 22nd consecutive year because age structure and projected available surplus in the spawning biomass did not support a fishery.

Book Description
This report summarizes the 2022 commercial Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus fisheries within the Chignik Management Area (CMA; Area L). The CMA encompasses all coastal waters and inland drainages of the northwest Gulf of Alaska between Kilokak Rocks and Kupreanof Point. All 5 species of North American Pacific salmon were commercially harvested in the CMA: Chinook O. tshawytscha, sockeye O. nerka, coho O. kisutch, pink O. gorbuscha, and chum O. keta salmon. In 2022, the Chignik River Chinook salmon O. tshawytscha estimated escapement of 761 fish was below the escapement goal range of 1,300 to 2,700 fish. The 2022 Chignik River early-run sockeye salmon O. nerka estimated escapement of 412,228 fish was within the escapement goal range of 350,000 to 450,000 fish for the first time since 2017. The late-run sockeye salmon estimated escapement of 395,858 fish met the late-run escapement goal range of 220,000 to 400,000 fish. The total 2022 CMA sockeye salmon harvest of 334,704 fish was above the recent 5-year average but well below long-term averages. The 2022 indexed peak pink salmon escapement estimate of 303,600 fish was above the even-year sustainable escapement goal (SEG) range of 170,000 to 280,000 fish. The indexed peak escapement of 73,200 chum salmon was within the SEG range of 45,000 to 110,000 fish. CMA coho, pink, and chum salmon harvests were below recent averages. A total of 35 CMA permit holders made deliveries in 2022. The exvessel value for commercial salmon harvest in the CMA for 2022 totaled approximately $3.7 million.
