The King Salmon (a.k.a. Chinook Salmon) is the iconic symbol and state fish of Alaska. Yet annual spawning runs for this legendary species, which used to number in hundreds of thousands, have dwindled with no clear cause. In this compilation researched and written by the editors, journalists, and photographers of Morris Communications’ Alaskan publications, readers get a dramatic overview of the history, biology, economics, and complex forces impacting this iconic fishery, including dramatic images and stories from the Kenai River, where a world record 97.5 pounder was caught.
