Fish Ticket Archiving Procedures
The Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission is the designated records manager for ADF&G fish ticket records. Fish ticket records are retained by the Commission for 45 years. Fish ticket records are confidential as defined by AS 16.05.815 and 16.40.155.
- The fish tickets may be kept at the local Fish and Game office for 1 – 2 years before transfer to CFEC. Prior to transfer all fish tickets records shall be stored in a secure area, such as a lockable file cabinet or storage closet.
- The tickets should be mailed, return receipt (third class) to:

- In each box there should be a detailed listing with this information:
