Abstract

[Extract] Recreational fisheries resources have considerable social, cultural, and economic value to the people of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The 1991 Survey of Hunting and Fishing in Canada found that the province has the highest rate of participation in recreational fishing in terms of the proportion of the population who participate (38 per cent) and mean number of days fished per year (17.5 days) of all Canadian provinces (Canadian Wildlife Service, 1993). The total gross economic value of Newfoundland and Labrador's recreational fisheries in 1990 was estimated to be $106.4 million (Buchanan et al., 1994). The primary species exploited recreationally in the province are migratory and non-migratory Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis).
