AKFIN's Data Library

AKFIN maintains an extensive data library from which we pull the information used to fulfull data requests. We are working to develop a public, searchable version of this library that will be connected to this page. We are excited to one day offer analysts direct access to much of the information we maintain in the data library. Until the library is available to the public, we encourage you to contact us directly to request data.

Who can access AKFIN’s data?
While anyone interested in Alaska fisheries information can request data from AKFIN, our primary users are analysts and economists directly involved in fisheries management. All requests are reviewed and prioritized based on the requesting agency and purpose of the request. Most requests take a minimum of 3-6 months to fulfill.

We fulfill requests from a wide range of organizations in need of commercial fisheries information, including the Department of Labor, Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission and the North Pacific Fishery Management Council. Our primary purpose is to provide complex data sets to fisheries analysts and economists.

To receive confidential information, you must be approved to do so by state and federal bodies governing the use of confidential information. We can provide you information on the requirements involved.
