Question: I am interested in researching the annual reports from the Commission of Fish and Fisheries from 1880 through the 1890's. According to the records of the US Fish and Wildlife Service, NARA has them in microfiche. How can I get the information for my research?
Answer: In this case, you will not need the microfiche because the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has posted the annual reports of the United States Fish and Fisheries Commission (AKA United States Fish Commission) online at http://docs.lib.noaa.gov/rescue/cof/data_rescue_fish_commission_annual_reports.html. These reports cover the date range of 1871 - 1979 with some gaps in between. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to open the PDF files.

Need to Mend a Fishing Net?
Question: I am looking for fishnet mending techniques. Is there a source on the internet for this type of information?
Answer: The National Sea Grant Library’s searchable database of Sea Grant-funded documents includes resources on fishing net repair. Information about the database is available at http://nsgd.gso.uri.edu/. You can search the database at https://eos.ucs.uri.edu/EOSWebOPAC/OPAC/Index.aspx. A search for the terms "net mending" retrieves three documents. Two are available in PDF format. These include: (1) Hillier, A. J., & Recksiek, C. W. (1982). Introduction to net mending. [Kingston, R.I.]: University of Rhode Island (described in WorldCat.org at http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/9674341); and (2) Lorimer, P. D., & Sea Grant. (1976). Net mending and patching. Pacific Sea Grant Advisory Program, PASGAP 9. [Corvallis]: Oregon State University Extension Service, Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program (described in WorldCat.org at http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/4157254). See http://nsgl.gso.uri.edu/ordering/ for ordering information for the third document, which is a 1989 revision of Lorimer's 1976 document titled "Net Mending and Patching" (described in WorldCat.org at http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/47702996).

I want crab. Just for me and mine.
Question: I want to fish for crab for my own use. Can I do that?
Answer: The Fish & Game department has a page specifically about Personal Use Fisheries at: http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=fishingPersonalUse.main. You can see 5 AAC 77.664. Personal use king crab fishery by opening the Codified Statewide Personal Use and Subsistence Fisheries Regulations on this page: http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=PersonalUseRegulations.main.
As odd as it sounds, the personal use fisheries are regulated by the Division of Commercial fisheries, so it would be best to check with the local ComFish office about permits and possible fishing closures that may take place under the regulations linked above. ComFish office locations and phone numbers can be found at http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=contacts.main.
