New Salmon Database Management System

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game has created a new database that should be of interest to some of the readers of this blog:

AYK Salmon Database Management System- from the website, " The ADF&G, Division of Commercial Fisheries, Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim (AYK) Region has created a salmon database management system (DBMS) for public use. The goal of this system is to provide managers, researchers, and the public involved in salmon fisheries in the AYK Region with a system to enter and process new data, as well as to retrieve historical data. The AYK salmon DBMS provides access to AYK project descriptions, biological measurements of age, sex, and length, escapement data, and Norton Sound test fisheries data through this internet site. The website also includes a demonstration of extraction and reporting of subsistence and commercial harvest data for Norton Sound only."

Alaska State agencies produce a number of searchable databases. To see a growing list of such resources, please see http://wikis.ala.org/godort/index.php/Alaska.
