Pacific Northwest Salmon and Steelhead Fishery Report. Volume II. The Economic and Employment Impacts Created by Commercial and Sport Salmon and Steelhead Fishing in the Pacific Northwest

摘要

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the total economic impacts (both primary and secondary) caused by commercial and sport salmon and steelhead fishing in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Idaho has only a sport fishery while Oregon and Washington allow both sport and commercial fishing. Among the commercial fisheries, only the Indians are allowed to land steelhead. Although the study covers both the Indian and non-Indian fishery, only limited information will be given for the Indian sector because the tribes did not supply much information. Besides a substantial amount of data from the various state fishery agencies, the study incorporates information from ten other major studies involving input/output analyses, salmon processing, marine trade, and sport and commercial fishing.
