Resumen
Descripción
North Dakota's recreational fishing industry is an important part
of the state's economic base. Resident and nonresident anglers spent
nearly $260 million dollars on fishing-related activities in the state
in 1990 (Baltezore and Leitch 1992). Management of a resource that
generates this amount of economic activity requires accurate and
periodic information.
Management uses information in at least two ways. Information is
initially used to make a decision. Once a decision is made,
additional information is collected to assess the results or outcomes
of that decision. In effect, information is used to make a decision
and monitor changes resulting from that decision (Kerestes and Leitch
1983). Periodic information is needed to monitor the outcomes of
management's decision.
