Three datasets from the Alaska Commercial Operator's Annual Reports (COAR) are included: 1) annual wholesale production, both weight and value for fish and shellfish products from 1984-2016, 2) average wholesale price per pound for processed salmon products from 2000-2016, and 3) statewide salmon wholesale value and pounds processed from 1984-2017. With these COAR datasets, all commercial products that are caught, bought, sold, and processed are required to be submitted annually. Within the COAR reports, information including the species, area of purchase (based on the statistical regions from the Alaska Department of Fish and Wildlife (ADF&G), pounds and value, process type (e.g. frozen, fresh) and production information (e.g. fillets, smoked) are reported. All prices and weights are based off the first wholesale value.
