"Changes in the Distribution of Alaska's Commercial Fisheries Entry Permits,
1975 to 2000." CFEC Rpt. 01-1N
Abstract:
This report provides detailed information on changes in the
distribution of permanent permits in Alaska's limited fisheries. From
1975 through 2000, 70 permit-types have been issued in 59 limited 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 transfers, changes due to the movement of permit holders,
and the year-end 2000 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, permit
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.
