“…If vC&R of unprotected fish is not banned by German law, why then is there the perception in the scientific literature that C&R overall is illegal or at least not acceptable in Germany (compare statements in Berg & Rösch 1998; Hickley 1998; Spitler 1998; Aas et al. 2002; Steffens & Winkel 2002)? First, there is an important institutional difference between C&R not being accepted and C&R being illegal.…”

Because of low fishing mortality that results from catch-and-release angling for carp, Cyprinius carpio L, it is counterintuitive that voluntary catch-and-release (vC&R) of this species induces conflicts within the angling community. Originally motivated by animal welfare concerns, vC&R is today probably as or more strongly criticised within the angling community itself than it is intersectorally. This study reviews the institutional treatment of C&R in Germany and explores within a sociological conflict model the conflicting views surrounding vC&R, specifically in specialised carp angling. It is argued that the intrasectoral (i.e. among angler groups) conflicts around vC&R fishing may divide the recreational angling community, which in turn may weaken the coherence of the entire angling sector. Restricting the opportunity to practice vC&R also can have important social and biological implications, which suggest a rethinking on the current treatment of vC&R recreational angling in Germany.K E Y W O R D S : anglers, animal welfare, catch-and-release, conflict, recreational fisheries.

“…This includes separate EU-based projects for each species, providing governmental support for puffer fish catch by fishermen. This utilisation of these species, however, contributes major economic gains that should be considered in parallel with economic costs (Steffens and Winkel, 2002).…”

“…The total annual market value of sport and recreational fishing amounts to millions of dollars in some countries. According to the available sources, it is estimated that in Germany it amounts to one billion U.S. dollars (Steffens and Winkel, 2002), 3.4 billion U.S. dollars in the inland waters of England and Wales (Lyons et al 2002), 281 million U.S. dollars in Sweden, 60 million U.S. dollars in Denmark, 250 million U.S. dollars in South Africa (Griffiths and Lamberth, 2002). Although this calculation represent only the lower economic value, it can be estimated that some 10 000 people in Croatia's coastal area (about 25% of the total annual licenses issued for sport and recreational fishing in 2011) existentially rely on sport and recreational fishing, in terms of additional food source.…”

Sport and recreational marine fishery can significantly contribute to the national budget through its economic and social effects. The main aim of this research is to define the economic and social significance of sport and recreational fishing in Croatia through the assessment of the lower limit of its economic value. This is done by analyzing the segments of sport and recreational fishing together with the economic and other activities which are closely related to it. When expressed by the number of stakeholders involved in sport and recreational fisheries and the share in the gross domestic product, it can be concluded that the economic effects of these activities are only slightly lower than in commercial fisheries. This research provides the groundwork for pointing out the basic guidelines of the social significance of sport and recreational marine fishery in Croatia. Hence, it can be noted that sport and recreational fishing in local coastal communities support the overall development of rural areas and the local communities in particular.
