Alaska Bristol Bay breaks daily harvest record for 2nd year running Alaska Journal of Commerce by Elizabeth Earl - July 11, 2022 As its season ramps up to its peak, Bristol Bay is already breaking single-day harvest records for sockeye salmon. Fishermen in the Nushagak district harvested more than 2.4 million sockeye in a single day on June 30 — smashing the record from last year by more than 600,000 fish. It’s the most sockeye harvested in a single day in the district in its 130-year history, according to Tim Sands, the area management biologist for the west side of the Bay for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. https://www.alaskajournal.com/2022-07-11/bristol-bay-breaks-daily-harvest-record-2nd-year-running Environment/Science Nearly six tons of debris removed from island south of Prince of Wales, destined for recycling and research KRBD by Raegan Miller - July 11, 2022 Nearly six tons of marine debris collected from a remote island were offloaded in Ketchikan on Wednesday. The debris is bound for recycling in Seattle — but researchers hope it could also shed light on the kinds of garbage that finds its way into the ocean. https://www.krbd.org/2022/07/11/nearly-six-tons-of-debris-removed-from-island-south-of-pow-destined-for-recycling-and-research/ Labeling and Marketing 3MMI - Pressure Mounting on Halibut Pricing, China Supply/Production Update TradexFoods - July 11, 2022 Pressure is mounting on Halibut pricing as they may be too high for the current market - however, pricing is still very strong on H&G and Fletches. Over in China, some small plants in Dalian are still not open; one cold storage in Qingdao has completely shutdown due to positive COVID cases; and according to our sources, a Dalian coldstorage that still remains closed (for almost a year now) contains over 50,000 metric tonnes of fish which also means most of it will be exceeding the expiry date soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW-ikKOPcvE&t=1s Federal Register Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska; Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Crab Rationalization Cost Recovery Program A Notice by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on 07/12/2022 NMFS publishes notification of a 2.23 percent fee for cost recovery under the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Crab Rationalization Program.
