This annual report reviews the Alaska salmon fisheries enhancement program. The success of this program is attributable to the development of statutes, regulations, and policies that require hatcheries to be located away from important natural salmon stocks and to use local broodstock sources. To maintain genetic diversity, Alaska hatcheries do not selectively breed for size or other trait and use large numbers of broodstock for production. Nearly all hatchery releases are marked so that fisheries managers can estimate the strength of wild stocks in the catch and manage wild stocks conservatively. Currently, 28 salmon hatcheries are operating in the state. Most (24 facilities) are operated by private nonprofit corporations, which are funded primarily from the harvest of a portion of hatchery returns. Two additional sport fish hatcheries are operated by the state, one research hatchery by the National Marine Fisheries Service, and one hatchery by the Metlakatla Indian Community. About 27 million adult salmon returned to Alaska hatcheries in 2016, which was the lowest hatchery return since 1992. The exvessel value of the commercial hatchery harvest was an estimated $85 million, and represented 21% of the exvessel value of the statewide salmon harvest. About 227,000 Alaska hatchery fish were caught in the sport, personal use and subsistence fisheries. Hatchery production in Alaska is intended to supplement--not replace--wild stock production. There are no stocks of concern in Prince William Sound or Southeast Alaska, indicating that adequate escapements to wild stock systems are being met over time in areas with the most hatchery production. Abundance-based wild stock management priority and habitat protection reflect the state's commitment to conservation of wild stocks and provide the foundation of its salmon fisheries enhancement program.

This annual report reviews the Alaska salmon fisheries enhancement program. This program’s success is attributable to the development of statutes, regulations, and policies that require hatcheries to be located away from important natural salmon stocks and to use local broodstock sources. To maintain genetic diversity, Alaska hatcheries do not selectively breed for size or other traits and use large numbers of broodstock. Most hatchery releases are marked so that fishery managers can estimate the strength of wild stocks in the harvest inseason and manage wild stocks conservatively. Hatchery production is intended to supplement–not replace–wild stock production. Harvests in 2013, 2015, and 2017 were 3 of the 4 highest wild stock salmon harvests dating back to the late 1800s. Abundance-based wild stock management priority, habitat protection, and record wild-stock harvests reflect the state’s commitment to conservation of wild stocks and provide the foundation of its salmon fisheries enhancement program. Currently, 30 salmon hatcheries are operating in the state. Twenty-six facilities are operated by private nonprofit (PNP) corporations, which are funded primarily from the sale of a portion of hatchery returns. Of these, 11 are state-owned and are operated by PNPs on the state’s behalf at no cost to the state. Non-PNP hatcheries include two sport fish hatcheries operated by the state, one research hatchery operated by the National Marine Fisheries Service, and one hatchery operated by the Metlakatla Indian Community. In 2021, the commercial fleet caught 64 million hatchery-produced salmon worth an estimated $142 million dollars in exvessel value. Hatchery fish contributed 28% of the statewide commercial salmon harvest and 25% of the statewide commercial harvest exvessel value. An additional 220 thousand Alaska hatchery fish were caught in the sport, personal use, and subsistence fisheries. In preparation for future production, Alaska hatcheries took 2.1 billion salmon eggs and released 1.7 billion juvenile salmon.

In addition, to maintain genetic diversity, Alaska hatcheries do not selectively breed for size or other trait and use large numbers of broodstock for production.

Currently, 29 hatcheries are operating in the state. Most (25 facilities) are operated by private non-profit (PNP) corporations, which are funded primarily from the harvest and sale of a portion of hatchery returns. Two additional hatcheries are operated by the state, one research hatchery by NMFS, and one hatchery by the Metlakatla Indian Community. The 2015 salmon season was the second highest harvest in state history, with a 264 million fish commercial harvest comprised of the third highest catch ever for wild stocks (170 million fish) and the second highest catch for hatchery stocks (93 million fish). The statewide exvessel value of the commercial hatchery harvest in 2015 was about $125 million, and the first wholesale value of the commercial hatchery harvest was about $350 million. Hatchery production in Alaska is intended to supplement, and not replace, wild stock production.
