Since 1977, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game has conducted an annual mail survey to estimate sport fishing participation <\/SPAN><\/P>

(number of anglers, days fished) and harvests (fish kept) statewide by Alaska fisheries, areas, regions, and species. Since 1990, <\/SPAN><\/P>

catches (fish harvested plus fish released) have also been estimated. Surveys estimate number of anglers fishing in Alaska, days <\/SPAN><\/P>

fished, and numbers of fish caught and kept by species, water type and fishing location. For estimates prior to 1996, please refer to the <\/SPAN>historic publications.<\/SPAN><\/A><\/P>

Questionnaires are mailed to a stratified random sample of households having at least one person with a current Alaska sport fishing license <\/SPAN><\/P>

(any type). Reminder letters and questionnaires are mailed to first-time and second-time non-respondents in the Resident and Nonresident Early <\/SPAN><\/P>

strata and to first-time non-respondents in the Nonresident Late stratum. Data from returned questionnaires is coded, captured, verified, <\/SPAN><\/P>

edited, and processed to produce estimates to update an established database of sport fishing participation, catch, and harvest estimates. <\/SPAN><\/P>
