Seafood Groups Pick Up $5.9M Tab For Hatchery Salmon Research

Processors and seven hatcheries have agreed to pony up millions to keep an Alaska Department of Fish and Game research project going.

Pacific Seafood Processors Association and Northern Southeast Regional Aquaculture Association Inc., committed $5.9 million to support the Wild/Hatchery Salmon Management Tools capital project.

The project is intended to fuel management decisions around Alaska’s 29 salmon hatcheries, as well as secure a more marketable reputation for Alaska hatchery stocks.
