We'd have to get back to you. We do have statistics on the recreational fishery.

I think in terms of the commercial fishery, the figures that I gave you—around $2 billion in landed value and $4-point-something billion in terms of total value—that includes some commercial inland, but very little commercial inland. The freshwater fishery is about $60 million, so it really is that.

I'm going to say this, and if I'm wrong we will get back to you, but it really is the coastal recreational fishery that is maybe 20% of the total amount. If you look at that list of the most fish caught, it really is walleye, perch, bass, pike, etc.
