- W2401688566 abstract "Thank you for the invitation to present on subsistence food harvests in rural Alaska, and food safety issues. Wild food contamination is an emerging concern in rural Alaska, especially for Alaska Natives who consume large amounts of wild food annually. This report provides background on subsistence food harvests in rural Alaska and the emerging food safety issue. I draw upon information collected by the Division of Subsistence, Alaska Department of Fish and Game on subsistence food harvests in Alaska, and on our experience with food contaminant issues following the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989. Exhibit 1 shows that about 20% of Alaska’s population lives in rural areas -- about 124,367 people in 1995. The rural population resides in about 225 communities, most off the road network and numbering less than 500 people. About half the rural population is Alaska Native. Most small villages are predominately Alaska Native. The major cultural groups are Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian, Athabaskan, Aleut, Alutiiq, Yup’ik, and Inupiat. Rural Alaskans support themselves through fishing, hunting, and gathering of wild foods combined with small-scale cash employment. This type of mixed subsistence-cash economy is common in the far north. Nowhere in the United States is wild food consumption greater than in Alaska rural communities. Exhibit 2 shows estimates of the amounts of wild foods harvested by families annually in rural Alaska. About 43.7 million lbs of wild foods are harvested each year in rural Alaska. This comes to about 375 lbs (usable weight) per person annually (based on the state’s population in 1990). By comparison, the average American uses about 222 lbs of store-bought meat, fish, and poultry each year (of a total of about 1,370 lbs of food). That is, the average rural Alaskan uses more wild meat, fish, and birds than the average American uses purchased meats, fish, and poultry. On average rural Alaskans use a little over one pound of wild food per person per day. In some regions, the average per capita harvest is over 600 lbs per person per year, close to two lbs of wild foods per person per day. Exhibits 3 and 4 provide additional detail on the rural harvest, such as its nutritional contribution and replacement value. As shown in Exhibit 3, the rural subsistence harvest contains about 240% of the protein requirements of the rural Alaska population and about 35% of the caloric requirements. Exhibit 5 shows the composition of the wild food harvest. About 59% of the rural food harvest is fish, 20% is game, 14% is marine mammals, and 2% each are birds, shellfish, and plants. The mix of foods differs across communities, shown in Exhibit 6, because communities harvest from local areas where certain species are available. Major fish" @default.
