Book Description
The 2015 Yakutat set gillnet fishery harvest of approximately 300,000 salmon was 17% below the recent 10-year average. The total harvest included 900 Chinook, 83,000 sockeye, 130,000 coho, 69,000 pink, and 700 chum salmon. The salmon harvest had an approximate exvessel value of $1.4 million which was 67% of the 2014 exvessel value. The Yakutat set gillnet fishery was comprised of 112 acitve permit holders, slightly below the recent 10-year average. The 2015 sockeye salmon harvest of nearly 83,000 fish was 36% below the 10-year average. Sockeye salmon harvests in almost all Yakutat District fisheries were below average in 2015. Biological Escapement Goals (BEG) for sockeye salmon were met in all sockeye salmon producing systems, with the exception of the Lost River. The total coho salmon harvest of 130,000 was slightly above the recent 10-year average. The Situk-Ahrnklin River produced 86% of the total Yakutat Area coho salmon harvest, with the Tsiu River as the second-largest producer. The Chinook salmon harvest of 900 was 26% below the 10-year average. The top Chinook salmon producers were Yakutat Bay and the Alsek River. The 2015 preseason projection was for a total run of approximately 600 large Chinook salmon returning to the Situk River. Given recent fishery and harvest trends, a run of that size is not expected to achieve the escapement goal without fishery restrictions; subsistence, sport, and commercial fisheries were closed for Situk River Chinook salmon. The pink salmon harvest of nearly 69,000 fish was 20% below the recent 10-year average. The chum salmon harvest of 700 was half the 10-year average. The Situk-Ahrnklin Inlet and Yakutat Bay fisheries produced most of the pink salmon which were incidental to the sockeye salmon harvest.

Book Description
This report provides an overview of the 2018 Yakutat Management Area (YMA) commercial set gillnet fisheries and stock status. The total commercial harvest of all species was 131,400 fish with an estimated preliminary exvessel value of $974,200, a 54% decrease from the 2017 value of $2.5 million. The harvest included 300 Chinook, 7,200 sockeye, 95,600 coho, 28,100 pink, and 100 chum salmon. The Situk-Ahrnklin Inlet commercial fishery produced 90% of the total exvessel value. The total number of individual permits fished during the season was 103 permits, which was below the 10-year average of 118 permits. The total sockeye salmon harvest was well below the recent average of 113,900 fish with the Situk-Ahrnklin Inlet fishery accounting for the highest harvest. The coho salmon harvest was also below average, and the Situk-Ahrnklin Inlet produced 89% of the areawide coho salmon harvest. Pink salmon returns throughout YMA were average in 2018, but the overall harvest was below average. Chum salmon harvest was also below average. With recent years of poor production and low Chinook salmon returns to the Situk River, the subsistence, sport, and commercial fisheries were closed to Chinook salmon retention for the eighth year in a row. The 2018 Situk River weir count of 420 large Chinook salmon was below the biological escapement goal (BEG) range of 450–1,050 fish. Chinook salmon escapement goals were achieved on the Alsek and Klukshu Rivers. The Situk River weir count of 26,704 sockeye salmon fell below the BEG range of 30,000–70,000 fish. The Klukshu and Lost Rivers were also below escapement goals for sockeye salmon.
