Fish

Alaska's salmon are an amazing resource! Commercial and sport fishing for salmon add millions of dollars to the state economy each year. These fish have also supported a traditional subsistence culture for thousands of years. In addition, salmon that spawn, die, and decay enrich interior Alaska's nutrient poor streams with nitrates and phosphates collected during their ocean existence.
