Hundreds of Chum Salmon in a concrete holding pen at the fish hatchery in Juneau, Alaska. It is a population attraction for the many cruise ship passengers that visit Juneau each year. Hatcheries such as this one are located throughout Alaska in an effort to support and supplement the native populations. This helps both recreational and commercial fisheries which are critical to the culture and economy of Alaska. They also allow scientists to study various salmon species and learn more about them.
