A federal judge issued an order Tuesday that appears to close an iconic Southeast Alaska salmon fishery for at least the summer season — a decision that threatens hundreds of jobs and a $30 million industry in response to a conservation group’s lawsuit.
Alaska Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s administration, which also intervened in the lawsuit on the trollers’ behalf, issued a statement saying the Department of Law will ask for Jones’ ruling to be set aside while an appeal plays out. It said the department will “immediately” notify the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that an appeal is pending.“We’ll continue to pursue every available avenue in defense of Alaska’s fisheries,” Taylor said.
One key question is how Jones’ decision will affect trollers’ harvests of coho and chum salmon, which make up the rest of their catch. Tuesday’s order did not specifically address cohos and chums, but some fishermen feared it could have the effect of closing those harvests, too, because trollers could still accidentally hook Chinook while fishing for the other species.
Unlike net fishermen, trollers catch salmon one at a time, on individual hooks. Careful treatment and icing keeps fish fresh and allows troll-caught salmon to sell at a higher market price: Filets are shipped around the country and can fetch $40 a pound at high-end grocery stores.
