"Changes in the Distribution of Alaska's Commercial Fisheries Entry Permits,
1975 to 1995." CFEC Rpt. 96-13N
Abstract:
This report provides detailed information on changes in the distribution of permanent permits in
Alaska's limited fisheries for the 1975 to 1995 time period. It covers the limited fisheries
and permit types where permanent permits have been issued by the end of 1995. 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 1995 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.
