As stated above yo8u can't compare apples to oranges. Alaska seems to keep a pretty tight lip on what is happening with their fisheries. Alot of their fisheries are not in as good a shape as folks would like to think. They have the same issues that we do-HARVEST! I read the Anchorage Daily news on a regular basis and they just changed to regs on one river(can't remember the name) because the sport fishers have been too good and not enough fish are making it up stream. Also about 6-8 months ago the feds seized control over some Alaska fisheries because they are not leaving enough for the aboriginals to survive on. I have a contact that spends the commercial fishing season in Alaska and he says the commercial seasons are getting hit hard.
