Alaska is home to an immense number of native fish species, both freshwater and especially saltwater.  The pages that follow offer in depth scientific information on each species for those that really want to know what they are catching and eating!  Good information to know before you head out on the water....you are what you eat!

Ever wonder why fish are so healthy to eat??  Because all they eat is fish!  Think about it...

Much of the information on Alaska fish species is provided courtesy of the Alaska Department of Fish & Game, Wildlife Notebook series, so check out their website as well for information on Big Game, Marine Mammals, Birds, Shellfish, Furbearers, and more!
