Alaska Laments Decline of Its Prized Salmon Populations

In his Alaskan community, fisherman Bob Candopoulos has long welcomed tourists to his business that's showcased by a sign featuring a king salmon. But this local fish emblematic of the region is growing increasingly rare. "Ten years ago, we could go out every single day" and hit catch limits, the sports fisherman and charter boat operator told AFP. "Now sometimes we're lucky if we even find any salmon when we're out there fishing."
