KRITFC alongside ONC and USFWS has produced harvest estimates following the Federal set net opportunities on June 2 and June 5, 2021. These estimates are created using data from the CBHM program run by KRITFC and BSFA; interviews at the Bethel boat harbor and Bethel area fish camps conducted by the ONC fisheries team; and aerial boat counts led by USFWS. Read more about how these estimates are produced here.

In summary:

• June 2: 23 interviews were conducted and 29 set nets and 2 drift nets were counted. An estimated total of 30 salmon were harvested, and all of those were king salmon. Read the full harvest estimate here.

• June 5: 38 interviews were conducted and 91 set nets were counted. An estimated total of 380 salmon were harvested: 310 king salmon, 20 chum salmon, and 50 sockeye salmon. Read the full harvest estimate here.
