Statewide sockeye (reds) stand at **21.4 million fish, 49 percent of The Run's 44.1 million fish commercial-comparable sockeye forecast** as of July 10. Bristol Bay leads the district scoreboard at **54 percent of its 32.26 million fish in-area sockeye forecast**, with 17.3 million fish on the Blue Sheet. July is the peak of the Bay run, and the reds are the value engine of the Alaska commercial season.

- **Statewide (all species):** 24.4 million fish, 20 percent of the 119.9 million fish commercial-comparable forecast. Pink (humpies), chum (dogs) and coho (silvers) have not yet run in volume, so the sockeye pace is the relevant gauge this time of year.
- **Bristol Bay:** 17.3 million fish, 54 percent of its 32.26 million fish in-area sockeye forecast, the district leader.
- **Alaska Peninsula:** 4.21 million fish, 37 percent of its 11.3 million fish forecast.
- **Chignik:** 369,000 fish, 23 percent of its 1.64 million fish forecast.
- **Kodiak:** 3 percent of forecast, the furthest behind of the reported districts.

No week-over-week delta figures appear in this issue. The data series is still in its initial warm-up period. All harvest figures are from ADF&G's Blue Sheet, preliminary and subject to revision.
