Alaska The federal government will manage the Yukon River salmon fishery where the river passes through federal lands KYUK by Anna Rose MacArthur - May 6, 2022 The federal government will manage the Yukon River salmon fishery this summer where the river passes through federal lands. That action follows a decision released on May 6 by the Federal Subsistence Board. Only federal subsistence users who live along the river will be allowed to fish for salmon in the federal waters of the Yukon River. https://www.kyuk.org/hunting-fishing/2022-05-06/the-federal-government-will-manage-the-yukon-river-salmon-fishery-where-the-river-passes-through-federal-lands Labeling and Marketing 3MMI - Alaska Salmon Season Is Fast Approaching; Salmon 101 TradexFoods - May 9, 2022 For this episode we give you a light Salmon 101 refresher - but first, we'll provide our weekly recommendation.
