In the early years of the limited entry programs, the drift-net fishery was almost at full capacity, with nearly all permits being fished in any given year. In contrast, the set-net fishery has never been fully prosecuted, and has always had a sizeable amount of \u201clatency\u201d in permit use. Permit usage in both fisheries underwent a sharp decrease in the mid 1990s, likely due to a combination of declining returns (Figure 8) and ex-vessel prices (not shown) for nearly all salmon species, starting in the early 1990s.\"\r\n", "end_date": null, "title": "Fishery Permit Ownership and Revenue in the Kenai Peninsula Borough, 1980-2014", "other_contacts": [], "iso_topics": ["005", "007", "016"], "tags": ["Kenai Peninsula", "Portfolio", "Commerical Fishing"], "bounds": [], "start_date": null, "regions": ["Alaska", "Kenai Peninsula", "Southcentral"], "other_agencies": "National Science Foundation, University of Alaska Anchorage, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, EPSCoR - Alaska Adapting to Changing Environments", "data_types": [{"name": "Database", "description": null}, {"name": "Image", "description": null}], "archived_at": null, "primary_contacts": [], "type": {"color": "#3a87ad", "name": "Data", "description": "catalog record for projects with associated data/observation files"}, "slug": "fishery-permit-ownership-and-revenue-in-the-kenai-peninsula-borough-1980-2014", "attachments": [{"category": "Public Download", "file_name": "epscor-fisheries-figure-permit_concentration.csv", "description": "Data- Kenai Fisheries Permit Concentration 1980-2014", "file_size": 6260}, {"category": "Public Download", "file_name": "epscor-fisheries-figure-revenue_variability.csv", "description": "Data- Kenai Fisheries Permit Variability", "file_size": 808}, {"category": "Primary Thumbnail", "file_name": "Screen Shot 2017-09-20 at 5.36.42 PM.jpg", "description": "", "file_size": 145365}, {"category": "Public Download", "file_name": "Figure 10_Fishing portfolio diversity and stability.pdf", "description": "Fishing Portfolio Diversity and Stability", "file_size": 151298}]}
