Alaska Subsistence Salmon Fisheries Annual Report, 2008. Technical Paper No. 359

摘要

Each year thousands of Alaskans participate in subsistence activities including the harvest of wild resources from Alaska's fisheries. Subsistence fishing is an important element of Alaska's social and cultural heritage, as well as a crucial component of the subsistence sector of the state's economy. The report summarizes Alaska's 2008 subsistence fishing season based upon subsistence permit data and harvest assessment surveys from across the state. New information is compared to findings from previous years and the results are discussed.
