    Joe Edwards of Houston, Texas, watches as his king salmon weights in at 16.2 pounds at the Douglas Harbor for the Golden North Salmon Derby in August of 2011. Scientists with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Juneau said the 28-inch size limit for chinook salmon, while intended as a conservation measure, may be removing fast-growing fish from the population over time.

    A spawned out sockeye salmon floats in Quartz Creek, an upper tributary to the Kenai River. Making sure the right amount of salmon reach the spawning grounds — known as an escapement goal — is the primary objective for Alaska Department of Fish and Game managers in the summer. That objective is a difficult one to achieve when sockeye are abundant and king salmon are not, as has been the case in the last several years. The way ADFG sets, and achieves, escapement goals is a matter of much debate because of the impacts on sport and commercial users as well as the impact missed goals can have on future returns.
    Fishermen focus on how ADFG sets, achieves escapement...

    Kenai Mayor Pat Porter, left, speaks to Alaska Department of Fish and Game Commissioner Cora Campbell following a news conference on July 20, 2012, in Anchorage. Porter attended a news conference led by Campbell and Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell to address actions the state can take in light of the poor king salmon run statewide, affecting both subsistence, sport and commercial fishermen. During the 2013 legislative session, Parnell successfully lobbied for $30 million over five years to research king salmon and possible causes for the decline in productivity seen statewide.-Photo by Mark Thiessen, Associated Press

    Alaska Department of Fish and Game sonar technician Brandon Key shows off the latest iteration of software and hardware that runs the sonar program on the Kenai River Nov. 1 in Soldotna. Currently there are two sonar sites on the river counting king salmon, one that is used for management and the other a research site which could eventually become the primary sonar on the river. In the weeks since the late run of Kenai River king salmon ended, Key has spent his time analyzing footage from the site that researchers did not have time to watch during the fishing season.

    The Alaska Board of Fisheries has an open regulatory process, with all members of the public allowed to submit proposals for management to be considered by the seven-member board. Each state waters fishery is considered once every three years, with occasional issues taken up sooner if the board chooses. Here, Chairman Karl Johnstone presides over the Pacific cod meeting held this past October in Anchorage. The longest meeting is for Upper Cook Inlet, which takes two weeks and will begin in late January 2014. -Photo by Michael Dinneen, Morris News Service - Alaska
