Alaska's Bristol Bay sockeye salmon harvest has reached nearly 43 million as the season winds down, putting the catch slightly ahead of last year's harvest, but domestic demand in particular is easily absorbing the surplus fish.
"When you look at the last few years combined, it's been quite a run of years strung together of high harvests," Andy Wink, president of the Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development Association (BBRSDA), told IntraFish.
Last year's total harvest was 41.3 million sockeye, and in 2017 the harvest reached 37.7
