Silver Bay, like many other seafood companies, brings seasonal workers to its Alaska factories during the salmon season, many from Mexico and other parts of the United States. — Silver Bay, like many other seafood companies, brings seasonal workers to its Alaska factories during the salmon season, many from Mexico and other parts of the United States.Foto: Silver Bay
