In Alaska, the survival of wild Sockeye salmon and the ecosystem trumps immediate harvest prospects. The amount of wild salmon that return to freshwater to breed varies annually. Alaskan managers developed ‘escapement objectives' based on research to guarantee enough salmon return safely to freshwater breeding habitats. To ensure the sustainability of Alaska's wild Sockeye aalmon, biologists manage the fisheries seasonally.

All Alaska Seafood is wild, pure, and responsibly managed for continuing abundance. Alaska provides the largest supply of American Halibut, which is strictly regulated through seasonal harvest and the exclusive use of longline gear. Alaska Halibut is available fresh from March through mid-November, and frozen year-round.

Protecting the future of both Sablefish stocks and the environment is a top issue in Alaska. Biennial scientific research surveys are used to assess the Sablefish population in Alaska. Managers utilize survey data to calculate the overall "available population," define the "allowable take," and establish a lower "actual catch" restriction to guarantee that the wild Sablefish population in Alaska's waters is always viable.

Pacific Cod live near the bottom of the ocean and concentrate on the shelf edge and upper slope (100 to 250 meters deep) in the winter and move to shallower waters (less than 100 meters deep) in the summer. Harvested throughout the Gulf of Alaska, Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands, Alaska Cod is available fresh during the fall and winter, and frozen year-round.
