Atlantic Salmon Caught Near Ketchikan
Ketchikan, Alaska - On Tuesday, July 20, an adult Atlantic salmon was turned into the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) Ketchikan field office. The fish was caught in a commercial gillnet fishery near Thorne Bay. Atlantic salmon are not native to the Pacific Ocean ­ they are raised in areas along the West Coast outside of Alaska, and their presence in Alaskan waters is biologically undesirable.
 

"The fish, which is 8.3 pounds, appears to be in good condition," said Glenn Hollowell, a Fishery Biologist in the ADF&G Ketchikan office.

It is unclear whether this fish is one of 2,587 Atlantic salmon that escaped from a farm in British Columbia between July 5-10, while being transferred into an un-inspected net with holes in it.
