Alaska. Department of Fish and Game

In 1959, the functions of Alaska Territorial Dept. of Fish and Game, Fish and Game Commission, and Fisheries Experimental Commission were abolished by session law (Chapter 64) and their functions were transferred to the newly created Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game. A Commissioner of Fish and Game, appointed by the governor, was its principal executive officer. The Department administers Alaska's commercial and sport fisheries, birds, game and fur-bearing animals, fees and licenses, trapping, fur-farming, fish hatcheries, habitat and taxidermy.
