In 2025, the last full year of PacFIN data, West Coast commercial fishermen landed 3.2 million pounds of pink salmon worth $1.1 million, averaging $0.34 per pound. Ranked by total catch value, pink salmon is 31st among the 263 species and species groups reported to PacFIN and tracked by Cormorant.
Oregon landings of pink salmon total less than 1% of ex-vessel value (or are confidential) and are not charted.
