Abstract

The first part of the study, which dealt with salmon anglers from outside the Republic, has already been completed and the results published [i]. The terms of reference of the study together with some background information were given in the latter publication. This second part is concerned with Irish salmon anglers and particularly with assessing the extent and regional distribution of the economic effects of their activities. In both these papers, we attempt to find out what Sort of peoplethe ang!ers are; where and how Often they fish, and, particularly, how much they spend and where this expenditure takes place. The concluding part of the study will deal with commercial fishermen and fishery operators, and in that paper we also hope to amalgamate our information on angling and on commercial fishing into a comprehensive picture of Irish salmon fishing.
