Division of Sport Fish Strategic Plan The ADF&G, Division of Sport Fish has crafted a long-term strategic plan. This endeavor represents our recognition that sport fishing opportunities are an essential element of Alaska's economy and essential to the well being of Alaskans. Although we are proud of our past sport fish management successes, we know we can always do better. Our goals are to improve the overall effectiveness of the Division and to be more accountable to Alaskans and others who benefit from our fishery resources. We expect this plan to guide future activities and budget decisions.


Technical Publications

Sport and Commercial Fisheries Research and Management Reports: A searchable database of Divisions of Sport and Commercial Fisheries reports. These reports, in scientific and technical reporting series, document the data and results of research activities undertaken by the divisions. These reports also detail how management decisions are made based on this research. All reports are available for download and printing in Portable Document Format (PDF).

External Scientific Paper Series Fishery research is undertaken in support of the division’s mission to protect and manage fish stocks and their habitats. Most of this research is specific to Alaskan fisheries, and is published in the technical publication series listed above. However, some of the information has broader implication, and is published in the journals and symposia of professional organizations and other, independent agencies. This is a link to a list of scientific papers published by staff under the sponsorship of the Divisions of Sport and Commercial Fisheries.

Statewide Stocking Plan The "Statewide Stocking Plan for Recreational Fisheries" outlines the objectives as well as the numbers and locations of the recreational stocking efforts by the state hatcheries for the next five years. Any changes or additions to the actions outlined in this plan will be advertised in the media for at least 10 days before they occur. It is available here online for general stocking information.
