Do the fishermen just sail out and catch fish, or is a permit of some kind required?
If the second, who owns the permits?

Perhaps it depends on the kind of small community we are talking about. My son is currently teaching in a community on the Labrador coast. The fishery has been devastated, and as a survival strategy community leaders are foraging in the bureaucracy for government support. To survive at all, the community must export its kids, and many of the kids know it and are preparing for it by being good students. In contrast, an in-law lives on one of the Gulf Islands on the west coast. He and many of his neighbours moved to their rural communities by choice, bringing their money with them. They have barter fairs and enjoy trading among themselves.
In the communities of rural western Canada where I did some of my growing up it was always understood that one kid would get the farm and the rest would have to move out to the city to become professionals and entrepreneurs, or perhaps bums.
