Association

Enhancing and rehabilitating salmon runs in the Kodiak area for over 30 years.

Security. Sustainability. Opportunity.

In 1976, Regional Aquaculture Associations were formed to give Alaskans a voice in salmon fishery enhancement decisions and a hand in actions, such as the rehabilitation of weak salmon stocks or supplemental salmon production, research and educational outreach, and habitat protection and improvement.

What We Do

Fishery Enhancement

KRAA operates hatcheries in Pillar Creek and Kitoi Bay to help supplement salmon production. During its first decade, KRAA achieved much through lake enrichment projects. By 1994, supplemental sockeye production from stocking barren lakes reached significant levels.

Outreach & Education

In 2023, KRAA participated in outreach and education programs such as the Ocean Science Discovery Lab, ComFish, Salmon Camp, Crayfish Derby with Suna’q Tribe of Kodiak, Salmon Life, and Salmon in the Classroom.

Research

We conduct fisheries monitoring, limnology, temperature monitoring, and age monitoring research to study the factors that affect salmon fisheries.
