Alaska Receipt and Release is a legal document that is used to transfer ownership of fish, shellfish, and other aquatic species from the seller to the buyer. It is also known as a Fish Ticket and is used to document the sale and transfer of fish, shellfish, and other aquatic species in Alaska. The document is often required by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game for commercial fishing licenses and permits. The Alaska Receipt and Release is divided into two parts: the Receipt portion and the Release portion. The Receipt portion is completed by the seller and includes information about the species of fish or shellfish being sold, the quantity, weight, price, and date of sale. The Release portion is completed by the buyer and includes information about the species of fish or shellfish, the quantity, weight, price, date of purchase, and the name and address of the buyer. The Alaska Receipt and Release is used for several types of aquatic species, including salmon, halibut, crab, shrimp, and other commercially harvested fish, shellfish, and aquatic species. There are two types of Alaska Receipt and Release: fish ticket receipts and transfers. Fish ticket receipts are used when the seller is transferring ownership of the fish or shellfish from one person to another. Transfers are used when the seller is transferring ownership of the fish or shellfish from one fishing vessel to another.
