We're unique, because we're an ITQ, as I said before. We're the only one, but we have individual trap shares, and your quota is based on how many shares of the fishery you own. You can own from a maximum of 26 shares to a minimum of three shares. A share is based on the quota, which is determined by the TAC and the exploitation rate. Last year a share was 3,100 pounds; you could own a maximum of 26 of that block or a minimum of three. We have many fishers with only three shares, which gave some of the individuals 9,300 pounds last year, which is a pretty small amount. If you consider 9,300 pounds at $1.80 a pound, they didn't make a whole lot of money.
We have a total of 1,699 traps in our zone, and these are shared in different allotments—as I said, between three and 26. We were at 183, with our number, and that can be reduced. We have an integrated plan whereby one fisherman can actually buy out another one and the licence is gone. It is a self-rationalization of our fleet. We did this when we adopted “no sharing”. We have no temporary sharing in our zone; we have no new access in our zone. We took all the temporaries. All the temporary sharing was based years ago on a dollar formula and was very complicated. The fishermen decided to accept all the temporaries into the zone and put everybody on an equal licence. We did away with the uncertainty. Now we all fish at different levels, but there is no temporary access. It has gone, through permanent access.
