Statewide, ADF&G's Blue Sheet shows 77.5 million fish harvested through August 21, 65 percent of the 119.9 million fish commercial-comparable forecast. Sockeye (reds) stand at 37.5 million fish, 85 percent of the 44.1 million fish forecast. Cook Inlet drove the week, with the district's cumulative sockeye harvest rising from 232K to 969K fish, a 317.7 percent week-over-week gain that pushed Cook Inlet to 111 percent of its forecast.

• Cook Inlet: 1.17 million fish, 111 percent of forecast (1.06 million fish forecast). Sockeye at 969K fish, up 317.7 percent week over week from 232K fish a week ago. Chum (dogs) at 86K fish, up 120.5 percent week over week from 39K fish.
• Bristol Bay: 30.0 million fish, 92 percent of the 32.9 million fish sockeye forecast, as the Bay's reds move into their August wind-down.
• Kodiak: 13.5 million fish, 90 percent of forecast (15.0 million fish). Pink (humpies) reached 11.7 million fish, up 61.0 percent week over week from 7.28 million fish. McKinley Research Group's August 18 ASMI update reports Kodiak's cumulative pink harvest is up 63 percent from the 2024 benchmark and has reached ADF&G's forecasted harvest range for the season.
• Southeast Alaska pink: 12.4 million fish, up 31.1 percent week over week from 9.50 million fish. ADF&G's August 21 inseason summary says the season is on track to meet the 19 million fish forecast despite a historically slow start.

August is pink and chum month: sockeye are winding down across the state and Kodiak and Southeast enhanced pink harvests are peaking. ADF&G's August 21 inseason summary notes a second Chinook (kings) retention period opened in Southeast troll areas August 13, targeting approximately 33,000 fish, with specific areas and timing managed by emergency order.

Blue Sheet figures are preliminary and subject to revision per ADF&G.

The Run reports public Alaska salmon data from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game: the in-season commercial harvest from the Blue Sheet, the April preseason run forecast, and the annual preliminary ex-vessel price and value tables, as ADF&G publishes them. Harvest is common-property and hatchery cost-recovery catch in thousands of fish, preliminary and subject to revision; sport, subsistence and personal-use harvests are not included, and confidential cells are suppressed at source. It is not fishing, financial or investment advice. Every figure is dated to what it reports and attributed to ADF&G we do not forecast runs or prices, and the percent-of-forecast read is descriptive.
