The figure sits within an earlier projected range of 205,000–261,000 tons and will be driven primarily by pink salmon (47%), followed by chum (31%) and sockeye (17%).

A 227,000 MT wild Pacific salmon harvest would rank among the lowest on record for Russia.

With pink salmon accounting for 47% (or roughly 90,000 MT), this would mark a potential record low harvest for pinks, based on historical even-year performance.

Since 2020, in even-numbered years, Russia has consistently only harvested around 70%-80% of the Forecast.
