Origin

Day Fished

a "day of fishing" is defined as all or part of any day on which recreational fishing activity occurred

Total Investment Expenses

these are investment expenditures for durable goods (boats, motors, campers, fishing equipment, special vehicle, etc.), which have been allocated to the Great Lakes based on the time the angler spent on the Great Lakes in 1990 as a percent of all days fished in the province

Attributable Investments

the amount of the investment expenditures for durable goods which the angler identified as being wholly attributable to recreational fishing activity (as a percentage of the total) and which have been allocated to the Great Lakes based on the time the angler spent on the Great Lakes in 1990 as a percent of all days fished in the province

Direct Expenditures

these are expenditures for goods and services (food, camping, accommodation, transportation, supplies, etc.) incurred when on fishing trips or excursions which have been allocated to the Great Lakes on the prorated basis described above

Equipment/Supplies
