1982 =.33
1983 =.50
(B) Add the three resulting figures for the weighted annual catch value to determine the weighted average catch value. Separately add the figures for the weighted annual occupational income to determine the weighted average occupational income.(C) Divide the weighted average catch value by the sum of the weighted average catch value plus the weighted average occupational income, and multiply the quotient by 100 for the single income dependence percentage.(2) 7 points may be claimed for investment as of January 1, 1984, in a vessel that the applicant used or intended to use in the brown king crab pot fishery.(3) 8 points may be claimed for ownership, as of January 1, 1984, of 25 or more geared crab pots that the applicant used or intended to use in the brown king crab pot fishery.Eff. 1/30/87, Register 101Authority:AS 16.43.100
