“…In USA, the mean net economic value of a day of cold-water ¢shing (in1987) was estimated at US$30.62, anadromous ¢shing at US$54.01, warm-water ¢shing at US$23.55 and salt-water ¢shing at US$72.49 (see Walsh et al 1992 for con¢dence intervals). Roadaccessible stocked waters in the Fairbanks area (Alaska) had per day values ranging from $15 to 44 (Du⁄eld et al 2002). In the UK, the value of angling for coarse (nonsalmonid) ¢sh for a day in rivers was estimated (in 2002) to be US$7.1^12.5 (Lyons et al 2002), and the recreational value per angling day for salmonid ¢shes in Norway was reported to range between US$4.4 and 7.15 in saltwater and between US$4.84 and 35.31 in fresh water (CVM estimates in Navrud 2001a).…”

Reconciling traditional inland fisheries management and sustainability in industrialized countries, with emphasis on Europe

In northern industrialized countries, the inland fisheries sector has long been dominated by recreational fisheries, which normally exploit fish for leisure or subsistence and provide many (poorly investigated) benefits to society. Various factors constrain the development and existence of inland fisheries, such as local user conflicts, low social priority and inadequate research and funding. In many cases, however, degradation of the environment and loss of aquatic habitat are the predominant concerns for the sustainability of inland fisheries. The need for concerted effort to prevent and reduce environmental degradation, as well as conservation of freshwater fish and fisheries as renewable common pool resources or entities in their own right is the greatest challenge facing sustainable development of inland waters. In inland fisheries management, the declining quality of the aquatic environment coupled with long‐term inadequate and often inappropriate fisheries management has led to an emphasis on enhancement practices, such as stocking, to mitigate anthropogenic stress. However, this is not always the most appropriate management approach. Therefore, there is an urgent need to alter many traditional inland fisheries management practices and systems to focus on sustainable development. This paper reviews the literature regarding the inputs needed for sustainability of inland fisheries in industrialized countries. To understand better the problems facing sustainable inland fisheries management, the inland fisheries environment, its benefits, negative impacts and constraints, as well as historical management, paradigms, trends and current practices are described. Major philosophical shifts, challenges and promising integrated management approaches are envisaged in a holistic framework. The following are considered key elements for sustainable development of inland fisheries: communication, information dissemination, education, institutional restructuring, marketing outreach, management plans, decision analysis, socioeconomic evaluation and research into the human dimension, in addition to traditional biological and ecological sciences. If these inputs are integrated with traditional fisheries management practices, the prospects for sustainability in the inland fisheries will be enhanced.

“…from the values that sport and recreational fishers perceive. Often their value is defined by the amount that a person is willing to pay for this activity (Rudd et al, 2002;Duffield et al, 2002). It should be pointed out that the gross expenditure does not represent economic benefits, unlike net expenditures which calculate substitution and displacement effects that can be used in conjunction with the regional/national economic models of the economy to determine the economic impact of these expenditures on the region's output or employment (Pawson et al, 2007).…”

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.
