(1) Landgon, S.,
"Transfer Patterns in Alaskan Limited Fisheries," January 17,
1980. (2) The Alaska
Urban Local category is not applicable for several fisheries
which have no local urban communities. These fisheries are the
Yakutat set net, Chignik seine, Bristol Bay salmon drift and set
net and herring spawn on kelp, Lower Yukon salmon and herring
gill net, and Nelson and Nunivak Island herring gill net
fisheries. (3) The
first edition of this report (1983) estimated the number of
transfers involving permit holders who used an "in care of"
address at 2%. Since then there have been major permit file data
corrections which included replacing temporary mailing addresses
with permanent addresses. (4)
When using Tables 3 and 4 please note that when there are
no urban communities in the area local to a fishery, Alaska Urban
Locals are necessarily zero. (5)
The extent of migration might be overstated
because of the use of temporary mailing addresses during the
permit renewal process. As noted previously, this problem has
been reduced by recent form revisions which allow for both a
permanent address and a temporary mailing address.
