“…Study location.-Atlantic Salmon were studied in the River Gaula watercourse in central Norway near the city of Trondheim ( Figure 1). From the head of the tide, 110 km of river is accessible to Atlantic Salmon in the main stem of the river, with an additional 90 km in major tributaries: Sokna, Bua, and Fora (Stensland 2012; Figure 1). The total catchment area measures 3,652 km 2 .…”

Does Catch‐and‐Release Angling Alter the Behavior and Fate of Adult Atlantic Salmon During Upriver Migration?

To reproduce, Atlantic Salmon Salmo salar return to freshwater rivers and migrate upriver to spawning areas. This migration is the basis for recreational fisheries, which for conservation reasons are increasingly characterized by catch‐and‐release angling. The effectiveness of catch and release for Atlantic Salmon conservation is contingent on the ability of individuals to recover from angling, resume migration, and reach spawning grounds at appropriate times. We monitored 27 caught and released Atlantic Salmon in River Gaula in 2013, a prominent and relatively pristine Norwegian river, by affixing external radio transmitters to them. Those fish were compared with a control group of 33 individuals caught and radio‐tagged at sea in bag nets before river entry. Whereas none of the control fish died during the study period, there were three mortalities among the caught‐and‐released fish (11%; significant difference). All mortalities were qualitatively associated with poor angler care, emphasizing the responsibility of anglers in practicing effective catch and release of Atlantic Salmon. Both control and caught and released Atlantic Salmon spent similar time resting below and in transiting a large natural barrier to migration, an 80‐m gorge. The angled and released Atlantic Salmon were distributed in similar locations throughout the river during the spawning season compared with control fish, but those caught and released later in the season appeared to migrate shorter total distances than control fish. Among the caught and released Atlantic Salmon, 17% were recaptured by anglers, which was similar to the rate of recapture of the control fish (21%). Ultimately, individual and population fitness was not likely to be significantly compromised as a result of catch and release because individuals were recorded in spawning areas at appropriate times. Catch and release can therefore be considered a tenable strategy for balancing the costs and benefits associated with the recreational fishery.

“…The majority of North America's inland waterbodies may also be accessed by (licensed) anglers, whereas the provision of riparian rights (landowners vs. river owner organisations) in some European nations can limit access of fishers to inland watercourses (e.g. Stensland, ). This is overcome by the formation of angling clubs/associations which use membership income to lease waters for their members.…”

The nexus of fun and nutrition: Recreational fishing is also about food

Recreational fishing is a popular activity in aquatic ecosystems around the globe using a variety of gears including rod and line and to a lesser extent handlines, spears, bow and arrow, traps and nets. Similar to the propensity to engage in voluntary catch‐and‐release, the propensity to harvest fishes strongly varies among cultures, locations, species and fisheries. There is a misconception that because recreational fishing happens during non‐work (i.e. leisure) time, the nutritional motivation is negligible; therefore, the role of recreational fishing in supporting nutrition (and thus food security) at regional, national or global scales is underappreciated. We consider the factors that influence whether fish will be harvested or released by examining the motives that underlie recreational fishing. Next, we provide an overview of the magnitude and role of recreational fishing harvest in supporting nutrition using regional case‐studies. Then, we address issues such as contaminants and parasites that constrain the ability of fish harvested by recreational fishers to be consumed. Although recreational fishing is foremost a leisure activity, the harvest of fish for personal consumption by recreational fishers has contributed and will continue to contribute to human nutrition by providing an accessible, affordable and generally highly sustainable food source, notwithstanding concerns about food safety and possibly overfishing. Attempts to better quantify the role of fish harvested by recreational fishers and the relative contribution to overall food security and personal nutrition will provide resource managers and policymakers the information needed to guide management activities and policy development.
