Changes in the distribution of Alaska's Commercial Fisheries Entry Permits

Marcus Gho and Craig Farrington analyzed changes in the distribution of Alaska’s permanent permit holders in Alaska's limited entry fisheries in their report "Changes in the Distribution of Alaska's Commercial Fisheries Entry Permits, 1975 – 2015" (M. Gho And C. Farrington. 2016. CFEC Report 16-3N, Changes in the Distribution of Alaska's Commercial Fisheries Entry Permits, 1975 – 2015). Drafters of the Limited Entry Act in Alaska were concerned that permits would not be easily accessible for younger Alaskans, and this report was produced so that concerned parties can be properly informed. These data are from 1975-2015 and represent the 65 commercial fisheries that were issued permanent limited entry permits: 26 salmon fisheries, 19 herring fisheries, 9 crab fisheries, 5 sablefish fisheries, 3 shrimp fisheries, and 3 dive fisheries(sea urchin, sea cucumber, geoduck). The report includes information on residential types of permit transfers, distribution of permit holders, and the age of permit holders and recipients. Here, we include 5 data tables from chapter four and two tables from chapter three of the report that are made publicly available on the Commercial Fishery Entry Commission webpage here: https://www.cfec.state.ak.us/RESEARCH/16-3N/16-3N.htm. Data tables were reformatted so that separate tables with titles were merged into a single table, with an added column containing the information in the title. Otherwise the tables remain unchanged. These data tables include contain information pertaining to the age differences between permit transferors and recipients by fishery, residential type of these transferors and recipients, age distribution of residential situation, and distribution of residential types of permit holders. The attached documents are Marcus Gho's and Craig Farrington's "Changes in the Distribution of Alaska's Commercial Fisheries Entry Permits" research paper and their "Executive Summary" of their findings, respectively.

马库斯·戈（Marcus Gho）与克雷格·法林顿（Craig Farrington）在其报告《阿拉斯加商业渔业准入许可分布变化（1975-2015）》（M. Gho And C. Farrington. 2016. CFEC Report 16-3N, Changes in the Distribution of Alaska's Commercial Fisheries Entry Permits, 1975 – 2015）中，分析了阿拉斯加有限准入渔业（Limited Entry Fisheries）内永久许可持有者的分布变化。阿拉斯加《有限准入法案》的起草者曾担忧年轻阿拉斯加群体难以获取渔业许可，因此编制该报告，旨在向相关关切方提供准确的信息参考。本数据集覆盖1975年至2015年间的65种核发永久有限准入许可的商业渔业，其中包含26种鲑鱼渔业、19种鲱鱼渔业、9种螃蟹渔业、5种黑鳕渔业、3种虾类渔业，以及3种潜水捕捞渔业（涵盖海胆、海参、象拔蚌）。该报告涵盖了许可转让的户籍类型、许可持有者分布情况，以及许可持有者与受让者的年龄相关信息。本次公开的数据表取自该报告第四章的5张表格与第三章的2张表格，相关数据表已通过阿拉斯加商业渔业准入委员会（Commercial Fishery Entry Commission, CFEC）官方网页公开发布，链接为：https://www.cfec.state.ak.us/RESEARCH/16-3N/16-3N.htm。我们对数据表进行了格式重构：将多张带有独立标题的表格合并为单张表格，并新增一列以承载原标题中的相关信息，其余内容均保持原貌。本次公开的数据表涵盖以下几类信息：按渔业分类的许可转让方与受让方的年龄差异、转让方与受让方的户籍类型、户籍情况的年龄分布，以及许可持有者的户籍类型分布。随附文件分别为马库斯·戈与克雷格·法林顿的研究论文《阿拉斯加商业渔业准入许可分布变化》，以及其研究成果的执行摘要。
