This study contains an analysis of the Nova Scotia marine fisheries. It measures the economic importance of specific fisheries, both historically and in terms of future prospects. It also assesses Mi�kmaq participation in these fisheries, particularly in relation to the concept of Moderate Livelihood, as prescribed in the Marshall decision.

This study estimates the economic impact of recreational fishing based on the five-year DFO surveys of recreational fishing activity in Canada. Economic I/O model runs were completed for each province in Canada and inked to the expenditure profiles developed from the DFO survey data.

This study provides an economic valuation of fishing opportunities offered by Canada, an economic profile of the commercial and recreational fisheries in the WCVI region, a socio-economic profile of the Nations and the regional economy, and an economic valuation of the Nations� proposed fishing plans.

This study supports the DFA and LFA 34 initiative. The current pricing model is refined by implementing the recommendations contained in a review of that model. The recommendations broaden the focus to include industry-wide price determinants as well as LFA 34 prices; use a more powerful statistical package to conduct the analysis and develop the model; and assess the influence of a broader set of explanatory variables.

This study estimates the economic value of wild Atlantic salmon in Canada�s four Atlantic Provinces and Quebec. Value is based on combined recreational fishing and tourism, first nations fishing, conservation and research, and government activities. A survey of anglers and a separate survey of the general public in the five provinces was conducted to collect data. The estimated values for recent years are developed, along with projections according to potential conservation initiatives. Economic values are expressed in conventional economic terms such as economic output, gross domestic product (GDP), salaries, and jobs associated with direct, indirect, and induced activity through the economy. Case studies of local salmon-dependent communities were completed for the Grand Cascapedia (QC), Exploits (NL), Miramichi (NB), and Margaree (NS).4,500 surveys distributed to ASF members in Canada, U.S., and Europe - online and mail, and 1,000 surveys randomly distributed to residents in Atlantic Canada and Quebec - online
