The data was taken from the Hatchery Release Report on the Alaska Department of Fish and Game website (https://mtalab.adfg.alaska.gov/CWT/reports/hatcheryrelease.aspx). The csv data file includes the annual salmon hatchery release data from 1952-2017 in Alaska and other areas in the western Pacific. The total release count and species of salmon are also included. The Hatchery Release Report specific to Alaska lists information about coded wire tag and Alaskan non-coded wire tag groups released since 1968. While there is information about non-Alaskan coded wire tag groups from the report, it is primarily intended for Alaskan Hatchery production release summaries. The report does not include non-coded wire tagged releases from outside of Alaska or releases other than anadromous.
