PERMIT & FISHING ACTIVITY BY YEAR, STATE, CENSUS AREA, OR CITY

FOOTNOTES: (Please see table description for complete information!)

(1) PERMIT ACTIVITY

Permit Holders in this section are defined as current permit holders at year-end. Not included are people who permanently transferred their permit away during the year, had their permit revoked, or people who received the permit through a temporary emergency transfer. This differs from the FISHING ACTIVITY section, which counts anyone who fished a permit. This may result in a lower number of permit holders than fishers.

City and State of Residence is based on the address and residency claimed year-end permit holder when issued the permit. This differs from the FISHING ACTIVITY section where where city and state of residence is based on that claimed by the person who held the permit at the time it was fished. (See Table Description for more information on residency assignment.)

(2) FISHING ACTIVITY

Non-commerical catch, such as derby, research, confiscated, and personal use, is excluded from this table; though incidental commercial catch is included.

Fishermen Who Fished is a count of permit holders who made at least one landing during the year, including people who held the permit through a temporary emergency transfer, who later permanently transfered their permit away, or who later had their permit revoked. This differs from the PERMIT ACTIVITY section, which counts only the permit at year-end. Due to permanent and temporary emergency transfers, more than one person can fish the same permit. This can result in a larger number of fishers than permits (permits fished or permits held).

City and State of Residence is based on the address and residency claimed by the individual who held the permit at the time it was fished. This differs from PERMIT ACTIVITY where address and residency comes that claimed by the year-end permit holder. (See Table Description for more information on residency assignment.)

Pounds Landed and Estimated Gross Earnings information is masked with an 'X' when needed to preserve confidentiality (AS 16.05.815). Confidentiality requirements involve masking when 3 or less people or permits are involved in the fishery and, if needed, masking the same fishery for another area in order to show statewide and year totals.

Estimated Gross Earnings is derived from an ex-vessel price per pound developed by the CFEC. A 'P' in this column indicates that the pricing for this fishery has not been completed.

(3) GROUP TOTALS

Totals are provided for each fishery group. Totals for permit holders may not be additive as individuals may hold permits from several fisheries. If the fishery group total is confidential the pounds and earnings information will be masked. When not prevented by confidentiality requirements, a second total line excluding information from confidential fisheries, is provided.
