There has also been commercial openings in Areas 9 & 10 (don't have the data right now).
Noyes Island Seine Fishery: 32,500 sockeye retained, 30,400 coho retained, 3,985,000 pinks retained, 0 chum retained, 1,100 chinook retained
These numbers are ONLY from one fishery in AK.
Sports, commercial-sports, and FSC numbers are ALSO not included in these numbers.
You can see why First Nations up river feel that their needs are not being taken care of.
