Undercurrent News
Editorial comment, by John Sackton, publisher of Seafoodnews.com
Ouch. The allegations that American Seafoods used flow scales that understated the weight of its pollock catch on multiple vessels in 2011 is a black-eye for the Alaska pollock fishery. It is unfortunate that it comes at the same time the American industry is raising questions about the capability of the Russian pollock fleet to monitor and control catches. Some European buyers have flown into a panic, with one saying to Undercurrent News: “If it..... http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2013/06/06/alaskas-white-hat-turns-a-little-grey/

Strong Sockeye Return Prompts Slightly Early Opening to Kodiak Salmon Season

Jay Barrett/KMXT
As we mentioned this week, the sockeye salmon run is coming back pretty strong in several river systems around the Kodiak Archipelago, and as a result, Fish and Game is opening commercial fishing a couple days early, according to James Jackson, the area management biologist. He said other systems are performing strongly for this early in the season... http://www.kmxt.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4745

Ketchikan shipyard business grows
BY ELWOOD BREHMER, ALASKA JOURNAL OF COMMERCE
KETCHIKAN — The development of Alaska Ship and Drydock in Ketchikan has been more than 30 years in the works. “What we’re doing today is what they proposed clear back in 1981,” company Shipyard Development Director Doug Ward said. Ward has been with Alaska Ship and Drydock, or ASD, since its inception in 1994 and also serves as the resident site historian. In 1981, the State of Alaska released its site development plan for what is now ASD on the northern edge of Ketchikan. At the time, the state Department of Transportation was in search of a hub for year-round maintenance of the Alaska Marine Highway System ferries, Ward said. As a result, $54 million was appropriated to develop.... http://www.alaskajournal.com/Alaska-Journal-of-Commerce/June-Issue-2-2013/Ketchikan-shipyard-business-grows/

Using salmon genome to adapt fish to warmer water
Researchers are studying precociously mature dwarf males for ways to selectively breed farmed salmon that better withstand higher ocean temperatures. Warmer ocean temperatures resulting from climate change may lead to earlier sexual maturation in salmon – which could spell problems for the aquaculture industry.

NOAA To Revive Essential Weather Satellite on Thursday
Andrew (AP)
Posted June 5, 2013 at 8:37 a.m.
An important weather satellite that went out of service on May 22 is expected to be brought back online Thursday, said the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The satellite shut itself down after suffering from an unknown, sudden disturbance that caused it to change its orientation relative to the Earth, and engineers have worked to troubleshoot the source of the error and restart the spacecraft. The return to service comes just as a tropical storm may be brewing in the Gulf of Mexico. The satellite, known as GOES-13, is a geostationary weather satellite. It is....... http://www.kitsapsun.com/news/2013/jun/05/noaa-to-revive-essential-weather-satellite-on/

| KETCHIKAN, Alaska (Aug. 07, 2009) The Office of Naval Research E-Craft, an experimental high-speed transformable hull form vessel, is under construction at Alaska Ship and Drydock in Ketchikan, Alaska. The E-Craft is scheduled for delivery in April 2010 and will provide the Navy with valuable data on the performance of this unique hull form in a challenging environment while serving as a ferry connecting Anchorage, Alaska, to the remote area of Port Mackenzie.
