"Changes in the Distribution of Alaska's Commercial Fisheries Entry Permits,
1975 to 1994." CFEC Rpt. 95-12N
Abstract:
This report provides detailed information on changes in the distribution
of permanent permits in Alaska's limited fisheries for the 1975 to 1994
time period. It covers the 46 limited fisheries and 50 permit types
where permanent permits had been issued by the end of 1994.
The report provides both statewide and fishery-specific data on transfer
incidence, the initial geographic distribution of permit holders, changes
due to transfers, changes due to migration, and the year-end 1994
geographic distribution of permit holders.
The report also includes extensive information on the age distribution of
permit holders, age differences between transferors and transfer
recipients, the incidence of intra-family and business partner transfers,
transfer acquisition methods, and transfer financing methods. The
information contained in the report is derived from the Commercial
Fisheries Entry Commission's (CFEC) permit and transfer survey files.
