Red king crab, snow crab, and Tanner crab seasons open on Oct. 15.

Thatcher Brouwer has fished all over Alaska, including one season in the Kodiak salmon setnet fishery.

The nutrients are vital for plankton, the base of the food chain that sustains the state's fisheries

KMXT's Katherine Irving broke down the season's twists and turns with Kodiak commercial salmon fisherman Darren Platt.

The study authors who designed the model say it could inform management of Bristol Bay crab fisheries.

Bristol Bay's sockeye are returning by the millions to their natal streams. But not all salmon find their way back home — some find new areas to spawn.

While Saltery, Pasagshak, and Buskin have seen lower than average returns, the Ayakulik saw record highs.

In all Alaskan fisheries, good data is a critical part of management. But the collection of that data doesn't have to be left to just scientists. Within Bristol Bay's sport fishery, there's a new way for guides to report their catches and observations, helping build a robust record of Bristol Bay catches.

Bristol Bay set netting used to be dominated by women. When the fishery's permit system started in the 70s, it had the highest rate of women permit holders in the state. But that's changed over the decades, and one researcher is digging into the decline and why it isn't happening anywhere else.

State lawmakers have ordered their professional, nonpartisan auditors to examine the Alaska Board of Fisheries’ procedural actions going back to October 2023.
