SAŽETAK:Usprkos sve većoj popularnosti mušičarenja, malo je studija utjecaja koje ono ima na okoliš i na društvo. Ovaj rad predstavlja prvo opsežno istraživanje o ribičkim kućicama kao gospodarskoj aktivnosti i njihovim praksama koje se odnose na održivo poslovanje. Okvirom izbora uzorka bile su obuhvaćene ribičke kućice iz raznih dijelova svijeta koje navodi nekoliko glavnih trgovaca opremom za mušičarenje, putničkih poduzeća koja se bave mušičarenjem i publikacija. Odabran je uzorak od 196 kućica i na njihovim internetskim stranicama provedena je analiza njihove komunikacije o održivim praksama. Analiza je pokazala da je razina izvještavanja o njihovim inicijativama vezanima uz održivost niska, premda je prisustvo ribičkih kućica na internetu veliko (samo 16,3% uzorka nema internetsku stranicu). Među najpopularnijim inicijativama su praksa "uhvati i pusti", korištenje obnovljive energije, obnova staništa, podrška lokalnoj zajednici te uzgoj organske hrane. Iako mnoge ribičke kućice otvoreno promoviraju odlazak na manje pristupačna područja, rijetko se bave njihovim utjecajem na okoliš i djelotvornošću praksi vezanih uz održivost.KLJUČNE RIJEČI: mušićarenje, ribička kućica, društveno odgovorno poslovanje, održivost, turizam ABSTRACT: Despite fly-fishing's growing popularity, there are few studies on its environmental and social impacts. The present study is the first large-scale investigation of the fly-fishing lodge sector and its sustainability practices. A sampling frame of global fly-fishing lodges was created by including lodges featured by several major fly-fishing outfitters, fly-fishing travel companies, and publications. A sample of 196 lodges was drawn and their websites analyzed with respect to sustainability communications. The analysis indicated that although the web presence of fly-fishing lodges is high (only 16.3% of the sample did not have a website), reporting on sustainability initiatives is low. The most popular initiatives included catch and release practices, renewable energy use, restoration of habitats, support for local community, and growing organic food. While many lodges explicitly promoted access to remote areas, they rarely addressed their own impacts and sustainability performance.

“…Moreover according to past research (c.f., Ditton et al, 1992;Donnelly et al, 1986;McIntyre & Pigram, 1992) Scott and Godbey's study did not support the progression from one end of the continuum to the other over time. Instead Scott and Godbey (1994) indicated bridge players either defined themselves as social or serious.…”

“…Past research suggests that as a person progresses along the specialization continuum, behavior changes (Bryan, 1977;Chipman & Helfrich, 1988;Ditton et al, 1992;Graefe & Kauffman, 1987;McIntyre, & Pigram, 1992;Scott & Godbey, 1994;Williams & Huffman, 1987). Thus, each recreationist potentially desires leisure needs and specific experiences from an activity that differ from other recreationists (Hase, 1996).…”

“…Wellman et al suggested, "The content of specialization may vary across individuals or groups of individuals within the activity" (p. 339). Ditton et al (1992) re-developed Bryan's specialization concept in their study of leisure social worlds existing among salt-water fishermen. These authors defined recreation specialization as "a process by which recreation social worlds and sub-worlds segment and intersect into new recreation sub worlds, and the subsequent ordered arrangement of these sub worlds and their members along a continuum" (Ditton et al, 1992, p. 39).…”

“…The interview questions pertaining to specialization were composed of Bryan's (Bryan, 1977(Bryan, , 1979) specialization framework and more recent specialization research (e.g., Bricker & Kerstetter, 2000;Ditton et al, 1992;Oh & Ditton, 2006). Bryan previously segmented trout anglers by their respective frequency of participation, setting preferences, technique preferences, choice of equipment, the importance of catching fish, social setting of the activity, and fishery resource management preferences.…”

Recreational fisheries represent the dominant fisheries sector targeting wild freshwater fishes in all industrialized nations and are becoming increasingly popular in some emerging economies. The socio-economic benefits of recreational fisheries are numerous and substantial. Recreational fisheries through their practices (e.g. overharvest, habitat change, release mortality, stocking and dispersal of non-native fishes), however, have been implicated in negative effects on populations and ecosystems. In inland waters, fish populations also face a variety of threats that are external to the recreational fisheries sector such that recreational fisheries often operate on top of already imperilled resources. This chapter characterizes the scope and magnitude of inland recreational fisheries globally, explores recreational fisheries as a coupled social-ecological system, reviews management strategies, identifies the main issues faced by inland recreational fisheries and discusses the future of recreational fishing in inland waters with an emphasis on research and information needs to ensure their long-term sustainability.
