Includes bibliographical references. "The current closure of many groundfish fisheries throughout Atlantic Canada was precipitated by substantial declines, over the past 8 to 10 years, in the catch of groundfish, particularly in the inshore fishery. This has obviously been a major concern for the people involved in this sector of the fishery and for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (D.F.O.). Attempts to understand the reasons for this decline have been hampered, to a certain extent, by a lack of information from the perspective of the actual participants in the fishery. The information that is lacking includes perceptions of stock abundance and environmental conditions, the impact of seals, dogfish, markets, fishery management actions, etc. To obtain this information, public meetings with the groundfish industry and D.F.O. biologists have become commonplace since the moratoria. Unfortunately though, the attendance at these meetings has been highly variable. Consequently, a telephone survey was conducted of participants in the 1995 southern Gulf groundfish fishery, in order to document the views and opinions of a random sample of active fishermen (Hurlbut 1997). A similar survey was conducted of fishers that were active in the 1996 southern Gulf groundfish fishery. This document reports the results of this survey"--Introduction, page 2.
