Changes in angler participation and demographics: analysis of a 17‐year licence stub return system for Atlantic salmon
Abstract Patterns of change in angler participation and demographics were examined for the recreational Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., fishery in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. An analysis of a licence stub return system, 1994–2010, showed a significant decline in resident angler participation...
