Gary Spieskie carries sockeye salmon after picking them out of gillnets on a setnet site in Ekuk, Alaska on July 4, 2019. Temperatures reached into 90's in Anchorage - 25 degrees above average - a record high. Rising water temperatures throughout the summer caused an estimated 100,000 fish to die. The average price paid to fishermen this year for sockeye salmon was $1.35 per pound. Sockeye is a highly valued species of salmon known for its red meat and steaklike quality.
