QUESTION: Trout Fishing Industry

[Australian rePublic]

Does that include only professional fishing, or recreational fishing too. I want to know this if I write an issue about the topic

I would think it's more geared to professional, since the industry would be much smaller if it only focused on the local farmers markets. I do think they both play a role, but I think professionally would dominate the industry.

It includes whatever it should reasonably include. As long as there's industry involved.

We've got a limited scope of industries, so the definitions get stretched and skewed to accommodate. Whaling falls under trout fishing for example.

The stat was originally called Trout Farming. (Still is, in the right places.)

It pretty much covers any animal products that come from salt or fresh water.

EDIT: However, it probably does include only commercial fishing, so recreational fishing wouldn't count unless you're paying for the priviledge. Simply sitting at some spot and casting out a fishing line doesn't make anyone any money, so why would it be an industry?

It is an industry for the firms that manufacture and sell fishing etc equipment.

But wouldn't those go under manufacturing and retail respectively?

But yes, of course.

A better approach is not to write around the stats, but around the story, and let editors worry about these things.

Yea I know. In fact, I don't think I've had a published issue until I stopped including stats all together

That's a correlation without causation, Aussie.

Honestly, the reason you started getting published more was a shift in culture in the team towards being more willing to make heavy edits of authors work. Your submissions often have great ideas, but aren't quite in a place where they can be published. A heavier editing process lets us take issues that fall into that category and get them in game.

Yes, I am aware of that too I stated that to make my point that I am aware of the lack of neccassity of stats. Anyway, the reason that I ask is because I want to know if I write an issue about recreational fishing, I need to know whether or not it will have any impact on the industry, so that I can taylor it either way

Right, but it shouldn't matter from a narrative point of view.

There's a whole bunch of things that the simulation can and can't do, but we never let that get in the way of following a certain story in an issue.

Even if it means that recreational fishing is interfeering with professional fishing? Fair enough
