Abstract
Based on data on climate variability, it was found that, starting in 2014, during the warming period off the Pacific coast of the United States, the emergence of both productive generations and lean generations of salmon was noted. It was found that in the main fishing areas in the period after 2014 there was a downward trend in abundance, despite the fact that in some years the commercial catches were at a high level.
