Below is a list of reports from more than 27 years of conducting research on gear, product and fishery development projects throughout the State of Alaska. The Alaska Fisheries Development Foundation, as a non-profit organization whose mission is to support stake holders and industry alike, wants to share this valuable information with interested parties; thus, we have scanned the original reports into .pdf files and made them available here for download.
There is a lot of pertinent and historical information contained in our library. If you don’t see something that you think should be there, call our office and inquire about the particular topic, project or report that is of interest to you: 907-276-7315.
Publications are organized in the following categories:
