PWSAC (Prince William Sound Acuicultura Corporación) is a private non-profit corporation founded in 1974 by a local commercial fishermen's organization.
The purpose of the corporation is to optimize the value of the salmon resources produced in Prince William Sound for all user groups. With headquarters in Cordova, Alaska, PWSAC operates four remote salmon hatcheries in Prince William Sound and one on the Copper River system in Paxson. Approximately 600 million salmon fry and smolt are produced for release into Pacific waters. The returning adults benefit commercial, sport fishing, personal use, and subsistence users.
