1. NL Region had specific definitions for days at sea, days fished and average crew size: (1) Days at sea = any day in which landings of fish were caught for sale but also includes the days required for setting and taking up gear when there are no landings; days when gear is hauled but with no landings; and days spent searching for fish or steaming to and from the fishing grounds. (2) Days fished = any day in which landings of fish were caught for sale. (3) Average crew size = the average number of individuals (skipper plus all deckhands/crew) on board while the vessel was participating in the specified fishery.

Notes:
1. The response rates shown in this table are based on the ratio of completed and partially-completed questionnaires to the final sample size. Each region developed its own methodology to define the fleets to be surveyed and to establish the sample sizes. Note that in some of the regional fleets, there may have been adjustments to the original sample size, depending on the results of the initial data collection efforts.
Survey data collection was conducted through personal interviews with respondents.
2. In the following regions, the statistical units refer to fishing enterprises that usually own one primary fishing vessel (and possibly one or more smaller secondary vessels): Newfoundland and Labrador , Gulf and Quebec.
In the Maritimes region, the statistical units pertain to vessel-based operations. However, most fishing enterprises in the Maritimes also own one primary fishing vessel. The estimates of presented in the tables are based on the overall operations of a fishing enterprise.
3. In the Newfoundland and Labrador region, a fishing enterprise is defined as a fishing unit comprised of all licences, vessels, gear and facilities held by the licence holder. Only active enterprises, i.e., enterprises that recorded landed values during 2004 with total landed values of $10,000 or more were sampled.
4. The Maritimes sample for lobster fleet LFA 35-38 included vessels with a lobster licence in LFAs 35, 36, 37 and 38 with landed value of at least $10,000 and at least 75% of landed value from lobster. However, at the end of the data collection period, there were no survey responses from LFA 38 lobster fishers.
