RE: Biggest Economic Punch, Commercial or Recreational Fishing?

By Doug Burkman

impact on the resource, which is the biggest $ return per pound of fish? Commercial or Recreational? How about in terms of recreation hours per pound of fish? I, personally, would rather catch my own fish for consumption? I would rather not buy my salmon or any other wild fish in a store. Maybe there are some that would think driving to the store to buy fish would be recreation.

The research is not complete until all the questions are answered.

Thank you,
