The 2012 season opens tonight at Kotzebue, Alaska's farthest north commercial salmon fishery.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game says it expects a good run of chum salmon, forecasting a harvest of 250,000 to 280,000 fish.
To put that in perspective, the projected chum harvest for entire state this season is 19.1 million fish.
