Heartening Prediction. For Alaska fishermen, who had been hard hit by steadily diminishing runs in recent years, it was almost too good to be true. Some had glumly believed that intensive Japanese deep-sea fishing had ruined the Alaskan salmon runs for good. Others had taken heart from the forecast of a good run by Dr. William F.

Royce keeps tab on the number of young salmon moving down the rivers and into the sea and watches the results of test catches throughout the northeast Pacific. Historically, Bristol...

In addition to a cyclical increase, a big factor was a cut in Japanese deep-sea fishing, which used to decimate the salmon runs before they reached Alaska.
