Alaskan wild fisheries are one of the ONLY sustainable fisheries on the planet. Ever since recorded history settlers have monitored the Wild Salmon Runs and the strongest Run EVER recorded happened just a couple of years... So much so that whales are now memorizing the salmon fry release dates and preparing to devour millions of new fry every year. Overall... things for Alaskan Wildlife look good! Fact Check me please.
.
Here is how it works. After the Russians sold the land to the USA there were no regulations for the fishery systems in Alaska. Many of the salmon runs were almost driven to depletion. Then around 60 years ago a few disgruntled fishermen decided to undertake an experiment. They found a stream that had NO SALMON and they set up a shed with multiple tables full of gravel and running fresh water thru them. Then they caught a bunch of wild salmon that were about to spawn (breed) and they took the eggs and sperm. Mixed it in a bucket. Buried it in gravel and protected those eggs from predation and a solid freeze... That is how the hatchery system was established. In the wild... less than 20 percent of the eggs are fertilized, and only 3-4 percent of the fry make it to the salt water. Harvesting the Eggs and Sperm of the salmon every end of the season the hatchery has a 97% fertilization rate and Over 80% of the fry are successfully released to the Salt water.
Everything Eats Salmon... so it stands to reason that everything benefits from a successful salmon release. Adult Salmon eat young Herring... and Adult Herring eat salmon Fry. Everything happens in the wild. If a ton of salmon Spawn... A to of salmon will die... All the dead salmon feed the invertebrates and fertilize for successful plankton blooms. A Successful plankton bloom makes more krill (micro Shrimp) Whales, Herring and Salmon fry eat Krill... The more salmon... the more money... the more salmon... the more Alaskan Wildlife!
