“…Angling is a popular recreational activity, but also of significant importance for local economies through angler expenditures. The Nordic countries with their long coastlines, and many freshwater lakes and streams have the highest known share of population that does angling (Arlinghaus et al, 2020;Hyder et al, 2018). Norway is topping this list with 37% of the adult population going on a fishing trip every year (Statistics Norway, 2020).…”

For many Nordic winter destinations attracting customers in the summer is a challenge. Angling is one of the summer activities that can help develop year-round tourism at a destination. Knowing which factors influence angling destination loyalty and how to manage these factors for different market segments is therefore important. We investigated how destination image, place attachment and satisfaction influenced anglers' destination loyalty through a structural equation model. Data are from a survey of 379 tourist anglers at the popular winter destination Trysil in southeast Norway. Our results show that increasing loyalty to an angling destination managers and tourism development actors can foremost influence the image and satisfaction level of anglers. This could be done through information campaigns to anglers combined with improving angling quality. On a larger area like in Trysil one should manage for diversity in regulations to avoid marginalizing certain angler groups and create conflicts.

“…Nowadays, fish stocks are exploited by both artisanal (subsistence and commercial) and recreational fishers (Catella et al, 2008; Mateus et al, 2011). In South America as a whole, although the levels of recreational fishers are not insubstantial and continue to increase, policies to support and manage recreational fishing are not widespread and require extensive research (Arlinghaus et al, 2020).…”

“…It has been estimated that recreational fisheries in the Pantanal generate approximately US$35 to US$56 million (Shrestha et al, 2002; Funge‐Smith, 2018). Although recreational fisheries in South America are on the rise, especially in Brazil, public policies, management and continuous research programmes are scarce in the country, which hinders the implementation of effective management policies (Arlinghaus et al, 2020). The objectives of the present study are to describe the socioeconomic profile of the fishers, determine the composition of the captures they make and estimate catch per unit effort (CPUE) across an entire fishing season.…”

Fisheries are the most common ecosystem service that fish provide to human populations, yet recreational fisheries are often overlooked when evaluating such services. Here, the socioeconomic profiles of fishers, the composition of their catches and catch per unit effort (CPUE) are described, to estimate the economic value of the recreational fishery on a stretch of the Cuiabá River in the Brazilian Pantanal.Questionnaires were used to obtain socioeconomic information and fishing yield from fishers for 2013 and 2014. Additionally, a census on the number of fishers and fishing platforms along the sampled region was conducted in 2018. This recreational fishery mostly involves middle class adult males, based mostly in the Cuiabá city metropolitan region. They invested, on average, US$41.

“…For developing countries as a whole, these estimates are unavailable. According to Arlinghaus et al (2020), participation rate is unknown for regions such as Central America, the Caribbean, Africa, and Southeast, Central and Western Asia. For South America, participation rate is 0-5% and has been increasing in the last years.…”

Shore-based competitive recreational fisheries in southern Bahia, Brazil: A baseline study

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study describes shore-based competitive fishing events in Ilhéus, southern Bahia (Brazil), including catch composition, and provides information on the profile of recreational fishers participating in these events. Information was collected in all events promoted by the Clube de Pesca de Ilhéus (CLUPESIL) in 2007-2008. A total of 26 competitive fishing events were organized during this period, with 47 species caught. The top species were: Cathorops spixii, Menticirrhus littoralis, Trachinotus goodei, Eucinostomus melanopterus, Polydactylus virginicus, Atherinella brasiliensis, and Eucinostomus argenteus. These seven species represented 87% of the total catch in number and 78% in weight. Menticirrhus littoralis and Polydactylus virginicus are species of commercial interest and their catch was dominated by juveniles. Local recreational fishers were predominately middle-aged men, who tended to use small hooks and mainly shrimp as bait. They were consumption-oriented, but also released small fishes. During competitions, fishers used even smaller hooks. Most of them perceived shrimp trawling as the main factor affecting recreational fisheries. The use of larger hooks and a minimum size of 20 cm are suggested to decrease the capture of juveniles, mainly those of commercial importance. This study sets a baseline from which new studies can be proposed to access the current status of local recreational fisheries.
