Subsistence harvest information by region, community, resource, and year, 1964-2015

Subsistence uses of wild resources are defined as 'noncommercial, customary and traditional uses' for a variety of purposes. These include: direct personal or family consumption as food, shelter, fuel, clothing, tools, or transportation, for the making and selling of handicraft articles out of nonedible by-products of fish and wildlife resources taken for personal or family consumption, and for the customary trade, barter, or sharing for personal or family consumption. Under subsistence statute in Alaska, the Alaska Board of Fisheries must identify fish stocks that support subsistence fisheries and, if there is a harvestable surplus of these stocks, adopt regulations that provide reasonable opportunities for these subsistence uses to take place. Whenever it is necessary to restrict harvests, subsistence fisheries have a preference over other uses of the stock. Subsistence fishing and subsistence hunting are important for the economies and cultures of many families and communities in Alaska. Subsistence uses of wild resources exist alongside other important uses of fish and game in Alaska and are especially important for most rural families, who depend on subsistence hunting and fishing as sources of nutrition and cultural practices. An estimated 36.9 million pounds of wild foods are harvested annually by rural subsistence users. Residents of more populated urban areas harvest about 13.4 million pounds of wild food under subsistence, personal use, and sport regulations. Harvest and community information is given here. Harvest information includes participation in subsistence activities as well as estimates of community, household, and per capita harvest of many different resource categories. Community information includes geographic and population information, and overall community harvest information. These data are also available and updated at https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/sb/CSIS/.

野生资源生计利用（subsistence uses of wild resources）被定义为出于各类用途的“非商业性、符合习俗与传统的利用行为”，其涵盖范畴包括：直接用于个人或家庭的食物、住所、燃料、衣物、工具或交通用途；利用为个人或家庭消费而捕获的鱼类与野生动物资源的非食用副产品制作并售卖手工艺品；以及出于个人或家庭消费目的开展的常规交易、易货或分享行为。根据阿拉斯加州的生计利用法规，阿拉斯加渔业委员会（Alaska Board of Fisheries）需认定支撑生计渔业的鱼类种群；若此类种群存在可捕捞剩余量，则应制定相关条例，为开展此类生计利用活动提供合理机会。在确有必要限制捕捞的情况下，生计渔业享有该种群其他利用方式优先的权限。生计捕捞与生计狩猎对阿拉斯加州众多家庭与社区的经济与文化而言至关重要。野生资源生计利用与阿拉斯加州内鱼类、猎物的其他重要利用方式并行存在，且对多数农村家庭尤为关键——这些家庭依赖生计狩猎与捕捞获取营养来源，并将其作为文化实践的核心组成部分。据估算，农村生计利用者每年可收获3690万磅野生食物；人口较为稠密的城区居民则依据生计利用、个人使用及休闲垂钓相关法规，每年收获约1340万磅野生食物。本数据集包含捕捞收获与社区相关信息：其中捕捞收获信息涵盖生计活动参与情况，以及多类资源的社区、家庭及人均收获量估算值；社区信息则包含地理与人口数据，以及整体社区收获情况。用户亦可通过https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/sb/CSIS/获取并查看该数据集的更新版本。本次归档的数据集版本提取于2017年8月14日。
