Pacific halibut sport fishery off Alaska,
while the State of Alaska manages the
salmon sport fisheries (Chinook, Coho,
Sockeye, Chum, and Pink), as well as
several other saltwater sport fisheries.
The survey’s scope covers marine sport
fishing for Pacific halibut, salmon, and
other popular marine sport species in
Alaska (e.g., lingcod and rockfish). The
data collected from the survey will be
used to estimate the value of marine
fishing to anglers and to analyze how
the type of fish caught, catch rates, and
fishery regulations affect fishing values
and anglers’ decisions to participate in
Alaska marine fishing activities.
The economic information provided
from the survey will help inform fishery
managers about the economic values of
Alaska marine sport fisheries and the
changes to participation in these
fisheries with proposed regulations.
II. Method of Collection
The data will be collected through a
mail survey. A random sample of sport
anglers who have fished in Alaska will
receive an initial questionnaire. In
subsequent weeks, a reminder postcard
and a second questionnaire will be
mailed to respondents who have not
completed and returned the survey.
Those not responding to the second full
mailing will be contacted by telephone
and asked to complete and return the
questionnaire.
