“…The brevity and flexibility of administration allow easy incorporation into commonly used recreational fishing survey designs, such as the telephone diary approach (see Lyle et al . ) where it could be administered either during the population screening or diary phases. In situations where HRQOL is only a small component of a larger survey where respondent burden may potentially compromise the quality of responses for key components (e.g.…”

Quantifying subjective human dimensions of recreational fishing: does good health come to those who bait?

Recreational fishing is a popular sport and leisure activity in many countries worldwide. There has been growing interest by recreational fishing groups and researchers in the perceived physical and psychological health and social (or ‘biopsychosocial’) benefits of recreational fishing. However, quantifying the key subjective ‘human dimensions’ of fishing that satisfy both the needs of recreational fishing groups and fishery managers is a major obstacle. We propose the use of psychometrically valid health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) measures widely used in the medical and health sciences – namely the Short‐Form Health Survey (SF‐36) – as rapid, reliable and cost‐effective instruments for quantifying HRQOL of recreational fishers. The widespread use of SF‐36 and availability of population normative data allows comparisons of the HRQOL of recreational fishers across multiple temporal and spatial scales, with participants of other activities, and the general population. The use of such measures in periodic surveys allows the biopsychosocial status of a recreational fishery's participants to be assessed using a modified Kobe plot, a graphical format that is easily interpretable and consistent with existing reporting formats used in fisheries stock assessment. Future biopsychosocial research in recreational fisheries can further benefit from interdisciplinary collaboration to develop a suite of standardized psychometrically valid and reliable instruments for assessing specific issues that commonly affect recreational fisheries from regional to international scales, such as drivers of fisher motivation, behaviour and satisfaction.

“…However, in the absence of a complete sampling frame such as a licence list of fishers, and the rarity of these fishers within the general fishing community, it is too costly to employ probability-based sampling such as general population telephone surveys to intercept recreational fishers within the overall community (Essig and Holliday 1991;Teisl andBoyle 1997, Henry andLyle 2003). Irrespective of expense, such surveys rarely yield a random sample from a population because of non-coverage of households and persons without landline telephones, non-response and noncontact issues (Pollock et al 1994;Lyle et al 2002), and an increasing refusal rate because of telemarketing saturation (NRC 2006).…”

Ghoti Ghoti papersGhoti aims to serve as a forum for stimulating and pertinent ideas. Ghoti publishes succinct commentary and opinion that addresses important areas in fish and fisheries science. Ghoti contributions will be innovative and have a perspective that may lead to fresh and productive insight of concepts, issues and research agendas. All Ghoti contributions will be selected by the editors and peer reviewed. Etymology of GhotiGeorge Bernard Shaw , polymath, playwright, Nobel prize winner, and the most prolific letter writer in history, was an advocate of English spelling reform. He was reportedly fond of pointing out its absurdities by proving that 'fish' could be spelt 'ghoti'. That is: 'gh' as in 'rough', 'o' as in 'women' and 'ti' as in palatial. AbstractObtaining reliable estimates of important parameters from recreational fisheries is problematic but critical for stock assessment and effective resource management. Sampling methodologies based on traditional design-based sampling theory, is inadequate in obtaining representative catch and effort data, social or demographical characterization, or fisher behaviour from small hard-to-reach components within recreational fisheries (e.g. specialized sport fisheries) that may account for the majority of the catch for some species. A model-based approach to sampling is necessary. Researchers in other disciplines including epidemiology and social sciences routinely survey rare or 'hidden' populations within the general community by penetration of social networks rather than by interception of individuals. We encourage fisheries researchers to rethink survey designs and consider the social elements of recreational fishing. Employing chain-referral methods, such as respondent-driven sampling (RDS), may be a statistically robust and cost-effective option for sampling elusive sub-elements within recreational fisheries. Chain-referral sampling methodology is outlined and an example of a complemented 'RDS-recapture' survey design is introduced as a cost-effective application to estimating total catch in recreational fisheries.

“…However, the accuracy of these catch estimates are doubtful as recall surveys have been demonstrated to overestimate recreational catches. This potential for overestimation is due to the impacts of non-response bias, recall bias, digit preference and prestige bias (Pollock et al, 1994;Lyle et al, 2002;Henry and Lyle, 2003).…”
