Commercial Fishing Industry Licensees in Louisiana in 1978

摘要

A summary is presented on the types and numbers of licenses issued by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) in 1978, based upon data from that department's license records. The LDWF generously contributed the license information in order for the Louisiana Sea Grant College Program to conduct a research project on the economic importance of commercial fishing to the state of Louisiana. The report is an accurate representation of the number and location of people involved in the harvest of freshwater and saltwater fish.
