Alaska's Aleutian Basin, which includes Bristol Bay, a large sockeye salmon ecosystem, is not included in Trump's proposal.
But the Gulf of Alaska and the waters to the west of the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge, account for at least two-thirds of the state's fish production, a spokesperson at the United Fisherman of Alaska told Business Insider.
Salmon in these waters provide the most jobs, but more pollock is caught than any other fish, the UFA spokesperson said. Halibut, cod, and king crab industries are also at risk.
