<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Since 1977, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game has conducted an annual mail survey to estimate sport fishing participation </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>(number of anglers, days fished) and harvests (fish kept) statewide by Alaska fisheries, areas, regions, and species. Since 1990, </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>catches (fish harvested plus fish released) have also been estimated. Surveys estimate number of anglers fishing in Alaska, days </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>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><A href="https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/sf/sportfishingsurvey/index.cfm?ADFG=main.historic"><SPAN>historic publications.</SPAN></A></P><P><SPAN /></P><P><SPAN>Questionnaires are mailed to a stratified random sample of households having at least one person with a current Alaska sport fishing license </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>(any type). Reminder letters and questionnaires are mailed to first-time and second-time non-respondents in the Resident and Nonresident Early </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>strata and to first-time non-respondents in the Nonresident Late stratum. Data from returned questionnaires is coded, captured, verified, </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>edited, and processed to produce estimates to update an established database of sport fishing participation, catch, and harvest estimates. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>A computer-based processing, storage, and retrieval system for all completed surveys and associated data will be maintained and updated.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
