ABSTRACT
Since 1977, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game has conducted an annual mail survey to estimate sportfishing
participation and harvests (fish kept) statewide by Alaska fisheries, areas, regions, and species. Since 1990, catches
(fish harvested plus fish released) have also been estimated. Detailed findings are presented for 2000. In 2000, an
estimated 432,291 anglers fished 2,627,805 days and kept 3,338,071 of 7,934,486 fish caught.
Key words: Alaska, recreation, sport, fish, fisheries, fishing, catch, harvest, angler, angler-days, survey, salmon,
