The 2025 edition of The Economic Value of Alaska’s Seafood, a collaborative update by the Pacific Seafood Processors Association, the United Fishermen of Alaska, and the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute, provides a critical update on the economic significance of one of the state’s most vital industries.
The analysis is primarily based on ASMI’s Economic Impact of Alaska’s Seafood Report (2024, McKinley Research Group), supplemented by updates from NOAA and MRG, and is being shared with state and federal policymakers.
Alaska’s seafood industry remains a cornerstone of the state’s economy, serving as the primary driver of jobs, wages, and tax revenue in many coastal communities. The seafood industry directly employed 48,000 people on average in 2021/2022 and created an additional 8,200 full time equivalent jobs in the state. Alaska’s commercial fisheries employed 20,900 fishermen, 59% of which were Alaska residents. However, the industry has faced significant financial challenges, with an estimated $1.8 billion economic loss from 2022 to 2023.

Utrecht – The Global Shrimp Forum (GSF), the premier annual gathering for the international shrimp industry, has announced that registration for the 2024 edition will open on March 1st, with the ‘early-bird’ registration period lasting until May 1st.
This year, the GSF’s three-tiered pricing structure returns, with the early-bird prices frozen at the same rate as last year, providing an added incentive for prospective delegates to secure their places as early as possible.
Willem van der Pijl, Managing Director of the Global Shrimp Forum, emphasised the event’s growing impact. "Each year, the Global Shrimp Forum serves as a vital platform for collaboration, innovation, and progress within the shrimp industry. With an improved program structure and expanded language accessibility, we are making it easier than ever for participants from all over the world to engage in meaningful discussions that shape the future of shrimp aquaculture and trade."
The anchovy campaign will begin next Monday, the 10th, with the current quota system, with quotas per boat, although it could be changed in May. The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and the sector met by videoconference to learn about the anchovy quota proposals put forward by the sector, fishing producers and the Cantabrian communities, including Euskadi. However, the Basque Country and Cantabria have disagreements with Galicia regarding the distribution criteria.
“Nature matters, people matter, sustainability matters.” To which we would add tradition and origin. These are the pillars of the communication narrative that is allowing the Norwegian Seafood Council and its Seafood from Norway brand to create a unique story that guides its activity in the field of marketing of aquaculture and fishing products from this country and that, on the other hand, is allowing them to differentiate themselves from their competitors.
This was stated by the director of Seafood from Norway, Tore Holvik, during one of his interventions at the Fedepesca Academy for retail professionals in collaboration with the Norwegian Seafood Council
