Mills Period Covered: July 1, 1982 to June 30, 1983 ABSTRACT This report presents 1982 findin~s from an annual survey providing statewide estimates of Alaska sport fishing effort and harvests by fisheries, areas, regions, and species. The survey indicated that 293,ull anglers fished 1,623,090 days to harvest 2,828,706 fish in 1982. All are record highs. The methodology of the survey, based primarily on mailing questionnaires to a sample of licensees, continued to prove effectual. KEY WORDS Harvest, catch, fish, sport, recreation, Alaska, statewide, effort, use, fishermen, angler-days. BACKGROUND Meeting public demand for recreational fishing opportun~t~es in Alaska while at the same time maintaining and protecting the fishery resources has become increasingly complex. In the early years of statehood--before rapid population expansion and industrial development--good, uncrowded sport fishing was accessible; large sport fisheries were few and easily monitored; and sport fishing was considered to be a minor factor in management of commercially exploited species. Today along with increasing tourism and forest, mineral, petroleum, and associated government development has come a mushrooming recreationally-oriented population. Accessible sport fisheries have become crowded, new fisheries have developed, and pressure from a large mobile population is spilling ever farther afield. Native land allotments, (d)(2) national interest land legislation, the issue of subsistence, state legislated land conveyance quotas, and problems of access have complicated maintenance and expansion of sport fishing opportunities. The State and private corporations have made substantial ~ommitments to aquaculture and hatchery propagations. Also, recreational fishing is now a significant factor in total fisheries management, especially in Cook Inlet where vociferous sport-commercial-subsistence user conflicts have developed. Against this backdrop, a statewide data base providing information on where sport fishing occurs, the extent of participation, the preferences of participants, and the species and numbers of major game fishes being harvested is essential for regulation and management of Alaska's sport fisheries and for total regulation, management, and allocation of multiple-use fisheries. In addition, this information is needed for establishing priorities; for formulating policies; for planning and evaluating rehabilitation, enhancement, hatchery, stocking, habitat protection, and access acquisition projects; for stock assessment; for forecasting; for gauging the economic and social significance of sport fishing; and for satisfying requests for information from individuals, special interest groups, government agencies, and the recreational industry. Because of Alaska's vastness, meeting all these data requirements statewide by on-site creel censuses would be prohibitively costly, thus an economical supplementary program has been developed. Described herein are results from the sixth year of that program. Species covered are listed in Table 2, Appendix A. Alaska sport fishing regulatory and management areas are delineated on the map in Figure 1, Appendix A. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Refine and continue to evaluate the methodologies developed to estimate statewide sport fish effort and harvests. 2. Continue to provide statewide estimates of effort and harvest for major Alaskan sport-caught species by area and fishery. OBJECTIVE To provide statewide estimates of effort and harvest for major Alaskan sport-caught species by area and fishery. 2 TECHNIQUES USED The Alaska statewide sport fish harvest program combines postal surveys and creel censuses to obtain estimates of effort and harvest by fishery and by species. The postal surveys consist of repeated mailings of questionnaires to random samples of Alaska sport fishing license holders. Creel censuses consist of on-site interviews of random samples of sport fishermen. The postal surveys provide estimates for all fisheries, while creel censuses of major selected fisheries provide validity correction and check. The 1982 harvest survey consisted of a mailing of 12,045 questionnaires, followed by two reminders to nonrespondents (examples of the questionnaire and reminders are in Appendix B). Otherwise, techniques used were the same as described by Mills (197 9). FINDINGS Results The Alaska Sport Fish Harvest Survey indicated that 293,011 anglers fished 1,623,090 days to harvest 2,828,706 fish in 1982. All are record highs and represent increases of 18% in anglers, 14% in days, and 12% in fish over 1981, in which 249,229 anglers fished 1,420,172 days to harvest 2,528,056 fish. 0 f the 2 93 , 0 11 an g 1 e r s who f ish e d in 1 9 82 , 211 , 9 58 (7 2%) were Alaska residents while 81,053 (28%) were nonresidents. This represents an 18% increase in resident anglers and a 17% increase in nonresident anglers over 1981, in which there were 179,872 (72%) residents and 69,357 (28%) nonresidents. Since 197 7, the first year of the survey, the annual increase in anglers has averaged 8%. The annual increase for resident anglers has averaged 7%. The annual increase in nonresident anglers has averaged 11%. Of the 1,623,090 angler-days fished in 1982, 1,131,358 (70%) were expended in the Southcentral region of Alaska, 292,941 (18%) were expended 1n the Southeast region, and 198,791 (12%) were expended in the Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim region. The Cook Inlet area had 887,861 (55%) of the State total sport fishing. The Kenai Peninsula had 576,585 angler-days or 36% of the State total. The Kenai River alone had 231,948 angler-days, 14% of the State total. An estimated 466,380 days, 29% ot all sport fishing, was in saltwater; 1,156,710, 71% of all sport fishing was in freshwater. 3 The 2,828,706 fish harvested in 1982 included 1,075,637 razor clams and 212,529 smelt. Of the remaining 1,540,540 harvested fish 597,278 (39%) were sea-run salmon, 173,283 (12%) were rainbow trout, 170,250 (11%) were Arctic grayling, and 167,485 (11%) were Dolly Varden and Arctic char. Also harvested were 92,358 halibut, 86,885 rockfish, 71,387 landlocked salmon, 23,470 cutthroat trout, 20,550 lake trout, 18,%4 northern pike, 15,445 burbot, 14,433 whitefish, 3,673 steelhead, 3,281 sheef ish, and 818 brook trout. Chinook salmon, coho salmon, sockeye salmon, Arctic grayling, halibut, lake trout, northern pike, burbot, whitetish, sheetish, and razor clam harvests were all-time record highs. Not included in the 2,828,706 total fish harvest or the 1,623,090 angler-days reported above are the newly created or recognized personal use fisheries. For the Kenai Peninsula, however, these fisheries were surveyed tor king crab, dungeness crab, tanner crab, shrimp, and hardshell clams. Harvest and effort for these species are reported in Table 53. The 1982 total sea-run salmon harvest of 597,27 8 included 74,536 chinook, 195,550 coho, 132,591 sockeye, 173,756 pink, and 20,845 chum salmon. The marine harvest total of 221,254 included 33,755 chinook, 84,708 coho, 8,746 sockeye, 90,024 pink, and 4,021 chum salmon. The freshwater total of 376,024 included 40,781 chinook, 110,842 coho, 123,845 sockeye, 83,732 pink, and 16,824 chum salmon. Regionally, 138,486 sea-run salmon were harvested in Southeast Alaska, 429,892 in Southcentral, and 28, ~0 in the Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim. The immature chinook salmon harvest statewide totaled 15,911 and is included in the 74,536 reported above. Harvest and effort for 1982 are tabulated by region, area, fishery, and species in Appendix A. Detailed tabulations for 1977 through 1981 may be found in Mills (1979, 1900, 198la, 1981b, 1982). Discussion Over the past four years the statewide sport fish harvest program has proved effectual in economically meeting management needs for reliable estimates of effort for and harvest of Alaska's game fishes. The program has been well received by the angling public: overall response to initial delivery has averaged almost 70%. In addition, results have been consistent with creel censuses and sport fish biologists report that harvest program estimates for areas not creel censused are in accordance with their own knowledge and observations. Thus, in the interest of economic efficiency, the statewide harvest program has replaced on-site creel censuses in several cases where creel censuses were not required for protective in-season management or ensuring compliance with regulatory and management policies, quotas and guidelines. It is planned that a survey much like this year's will be undertaken in 1983. 4 LITERATURE CITED Mills, M.J. 1979. Alaska Statewide Sport Fish Harvest Studies. Alaska Department of Fish and Game.

HAIIIIOMD. GOVERNOR Ut:l•i\HT Mt:NT Ot' t'ISII i\ NU (;!\ Mt: Dear Alaska Sport Fisherman: As the State of Alaska grows in population, pressure on its fishery resources is increasing rapidly. This survey is conducted annually by the Sport Fish Division of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. It is designed to help the Department obtain the best possible information necessary to maintain and improve the quality of sport fishing in Alaska. I would very much appreciate your taking a few minutes to answer the questions attached to this letter. Although there are quite a number of pages, the questions are straightforward and you need only respond to those pertaining to the areas where you sport fished. Be assured that your responses will be considered confidential. It is my hope that you recognize this survey as a means by which you can participate in decisions concerning this State's fishery resources. We need your input. Only when we know your needs can we respond to them. · Sincerely, ~v.~. Ronald 0. Skoog Commissioner 00 00 • .. INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Questions apply to all members of your household. 2. If more than one member of your household received a copy of this questionnaire, you need to fill out only one questionnaire, but to avoid repeated mailings, please return all. 3. Please answer the general questions on page 2. 4. If members of your household sport fished during 1982, please fill out the remaining pages which cover the areas you sport fished. The maps on pages 3, 12, and 25 will help you find the pages which deal with those areas. If no member of your household sport fished during 1982, please return your questionnaire in the enclosed postage-paid envelope after answering the questions on page 2. 5. If you cannot remember exactly how much you sport fished or how many fish you caught, please estimate as closely as you can. Do not count commercially-caught or subsistence· caught fish. Include fish caught in the winter as well as fish caught during the summer. 6. Please return your completed questionnaire in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. Thanks for helping us help you. 00 \C) GENERAL QUESTIONS: 1. How many members of your household purchased an Alaska Sport Fishing license during 1982 (including members who did not fish)? 2. How many members of your household under the age of 16 sport fished in Alaska in 1982? 3. How many members of your household 16 years of age or older sport fished in Alaska during 1982? 4. What do you recommend to improve sport fishing in Alaska? "' 06 0 f z" ~ 0 ~ 0 3 ~ ~ .,. z~ ' p a c l f l c 0 c e a n \0 ~ • Example SALTWATER: Boat· East, 1. West Behm Canals Boat· 2.
