Tide, C., N. Free-Sloan and K. Iverson.  2004. "Changes in the Distribution of Alaska's Commercial Fisheries Entry Permits,
1975-2003. CFEC Rpt 04-1N"

Abstract:

This report provides detailed information on changes in the distribution of permanent permits in Alaska's limited fisheries. From 1975 through 2003, 77 permit types have been issued in 64 fisheries. The report provides both statewide and
fishery-specific data on the numbers of permit transfers, the geographic distribution of permit holders, changes due to permit transfers, changes due to the movement of permit holders and the year-end 2003 geographic distribution of permit holders.

The report also includes extensive information on the age of permit holders, age differences between transferors and transfer recipients, the incidence of intra-family and business partner transfers, transfer acquisition methods, and financing of
permit purchases. The information contained in the report is derived from the Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission's (CFEC) permit and transfer survey files.

The report includes two separate documents: an executive summary and the principal report, which is primarily a reference document.
