I think you are right to some degree.
Permit holders do all of the fishing, permit holders and Canneries use mostly transient works to do the grunt work. Locals are a mix of the two(permit holders & laborers). What I think may be a concern is that local permit holders will sell their permits in exchange for a more stable consistent income. If that happens Canneries will lose their advantage in setting the market price for fish. Less permit holders gives the existing permit holders more leverage. IMHO
