Salmon - Alaska Sake, Ikura 
Salmon caught from Alaska consists of five species: Pink, Sockeye, Chum, Coho and Chinook (King) Salmon. Abundance of salmon, particularly Pink and Sockeye, is high in Alaska due to good management and healthy habitat. The majority of salmon is caught with purse seines, followed by gillnets and troll gear. These fishing methods cause little habitat damage and result in moderate levels of bycatch, typically other fish.

Salmon - California, Oregon, and Washington Sake, Ikura
Management of U.S. West Coast (California to Washington) salmon is comprehensive and catches are monitored to protect weak populations, but overall population abundance remains well below historical levels. Habitat degradation from dams, logging, and development pose serious problems for most salmon on the West Coast. There is concern over the possible adverse effects of salmon hatchery programs on wild salmon. Five salmon species are found on the U.S. west coast: Chinook (King), Coho (Silver), Sockeye (Red), Chum (Dog) and Pink (Humpback).

Salmon, Atlantic - farmed Sake, Ikura
Worldwide production of farmed Atlantic Salmon is around 1 million tonnes which represents over 50% of global salmon production. Japan, Europe and North America are the major markets for Atlantic Salmon, and Chile was the most rapidly growing supplier of Atlantic Salmon until a disease outbreak in 2007. The majority of Atlantic Salmon consumed in the U.S. is farmed in Canada and Maine, with smaller amounts from Norway. Atlantic Salmon are typically farmed at high stocking densities in net pens, where antibiotics and vaccines are commonly used to treat infected fish. Because net pens are open to the environment, fecal material and uneaten food can pollute the surrounding area reducing quality water and impact animals that live on the seafloor. Regulations for salmon farming vary greatly between countries and are in some cases non-existent.
