This article discusses the dwindling salmon population in the Yukon River along the Yukon River Delta in Alaska. It is stated that since most of the Yukon River Delta is a U.S. National Wildlife Refuge, fishing is the region's only industry. Particular focus is given to the effect of declining fish populations on the livelihood of Yupik Eskimos living in the city of Emmonak, Alaska.
