Statewide
As Alaskas largest private-sector employer, commercial fishing and seafood processing is a major contributor to
employment and wages. The fishing industry employs tens of thousands of individuals producing billions of pounds of
seafood for the US and the world. Commercial fishing permit holders represent small and family-owned business,
supporting dozens of other services businesses such as hardware and marine suppliers, fuel, accountants, air and
water travel, shipping, boat builders, hatcheries, restaurants, scientists, educators, and administrators. The seafood
industry provides Alaskans with critical access to local seafood through restaurants, grocery stores, and fish markets.
