(1) relationship question on the transfer application form changed between 1995 and 1996. In 1995 respondents were given a choice of "No relationship," "Business Partner," "Personal Family Member," and "Other Friend or Relative." In 1996 "Personal Family Member" became "Family Member," "Other Friend or Relative" became "Friend," and an "Other" category was introduced.

(2) In Tables 6-4a and 6-4c broker usage rates are calculated over all sablefish areas. Note that while these rates are calculated over all halibut areas, the QS for different areas are not equivalent with respect to IFQ. Therefore, the rates calculated across areas in current-year IFQ equivalents would be different than the rates shown here.

(3) that 6-5a aggregates QS across years. Since the QS/IFQ ratio differs by area and in a year, the percentage of the IFQ leased with the help of a broker would be different than the percentage of QS leased with the help of a broker when calculated across areas.
