Abstract Recreational fishing (RF) is a popular pastime resulting in substantial fish mortality many regions. Yet inclusion of RF fishery harvest strategies limited, because the sector's objectives are poorly understood, as data required to track their performance. To address this, we reviewed sources available from region globally high participation (New South Wales [NSW], Australia) and evaluated utility for RF-specific performance indicators within strategies. We then linked these they may be used monitor. A total 21 were identified NSW over past two decades, spanning all major aquatic environments 146 fished species. Numerous monitor ecological objectives, providing time-series potential reference points key such catch-per-unit-effort. Few social, economic, institutional consistent with global paucity data. found that most social lie outside scope traditional strategies, although some underlying Harvest strategy will depend on relative importance whether can achieved by controlling harvest.

This work is the result of an international research effort to determine main impacts COVID-19 pandemic on marine recreational fishing. Changes were assessed (1) access fishing, derived from lockdowns and other mobility restrictions; (2) ecosystems, because alterations in fishing intensity human presence; (3) blue economy, investments expenses fishers; (4) society, relation variations fishers’ health well-being. For this, a consultation with experts 16 countries was carried out, as well online survey aimed at fishers, that included specific questions designed capture heterogeneity behavior, skills know-how, vital involvement. Fishers’ participation (5,998 fishers 15 countries) promoted through marketing campaign. The sensitivity clustering procedure, based captured heterogeneity, evaluated by SIMPER analysis generalized linear models. Results expert highlighted worldwide reduction activity. Lower human-driven pressures are expected generate some benefits for ecosystems. However, also identified high negative fisher well-being loss opportunities. Most (98%) who participated advanced , showing much higher degree commitment than basic (2%). Advanced were, general, more pessimistic about COVID-19, reporting reductions physical activity fish consumption, poorer quality night rest, foul mood, raised concerns their status. Controlled safe fisheries during pandemics would provide people reduce socioeconomic impacts, especially vulnerable social groups.

Abstract The global COVID-19 pandemic resulted in many jurisdictions implementing orders restricting the movements of people to inhibit virus transmission, with recreational angling often either not permitted or access fisheries and/or related infrastructure being prevented. Following lifting restrictions, initial angler surveys and licence sales suggested increased participation effort, altered demographics, but evidence remaining limited. Here, we overcome this gap by identifying temporal changes interest, sales, effort world regions comparing data ‘pre-pandemic’ (up including 2019); ‘acute pandemic’ (2020) ‘COVID-acclimated’ (2021) periods. We then identified how can inform development more resilient sustainable fisheries. Interest (measured here as angling-related internet search term volumes) substantially all during 2020. Patterns revealed marked increases some countries 2020 others. Where increased, was rarely sustained 2021; where there were declines, these fewer tourist anglers due movement restrictions. Data from most indicated a younger demographic who participated 2020, urban areas, 2021.

Abstract Marine recreational fisheries (MRF) have important social and economic benefits, but can impact fish stocks the environment. The diverse dispersed nature of these makes them challenging to study; a lack data has made it more difficult include in management varied motivations fishers their response measures hard predict. Research into MRF is growing rapidly, so this themed article set aims bring together research highlight current evidence base identify future opportunities. New survey methods were presented alongside analyses existing data, which highlighted issues with methods, reconstruction missing factors influencing catch effort. manuscripts demonstrated biological impacts MRF, its self-subsidizing was recognized. Novel approaches for management, including improving compliance, identified. Finally, funding highlighted. Key gaps are: governance that embeds management; integration novel traditional surveys; risk-based impacts; understanding welfare; balances economic, social, allows allocation between sectors; benefits on compliance.

Abstract Inland recreational fisheries provide numerous socio‐economic benefits to fishers, families and communities. Recreationally harvested fish are also frequently consumed may affordable sustainable but undervalued contributions human nutrition. Quantifying the degree which recreationally contribute food security subsistence is impeded by lack of data on harvest consumption difficulty in differentiating among fisheries. Recreational records tend be limited wealthy, food‐secure countries well‐monitored with clear regulations or permitting systems. These often neglect components food‐insecure fishers who potentially more likely have as a motivation. Here, we highlight ‘fuzzy boundary’ that can exist between inland argue unreported hidden contributor some populations. We draw local case studies from around world specific instances where species participating use these examples diversity ways nutrition, knowledge gaps understanding fishing for food, consequences not accounting them policy management. The aim this paper attention resource managers makers, create greater social awareness importance bring light contribution nutrition subsistence.

Abstract Recreational fisheries contribute substantially to the sociocultural and economic well‐being of coastal riparian regions worldwide, but climate change threatens their sustainability. Fishery managers require information on how will impact key recreational species; however, absence a global assessment hinders both directed widespread conservation efforts. In this study, we present first vulnerability recreationally targeted fish species from marine freshwater environments (including diadromous fishes). We use projections data species’ physiological ecological traits quantify map analyze these patterns alongside indices socioeconomic value effort determine where efforts are sufficient they might fall short. found that over 20% fishes vulnerable under high emission scenario. Overall, had highest number species, concentrated in with sensitive habitat types (e.g., coral reefs). However, higher proportions at risk change, concentrations northern Europe, Australia, southern Africa. Mismatches were within all life‐history groups. A pattern was current focused primarily rather than predicted be proportionately more vulnerable. While several notably lacking protection Caribbean Sea, Banda Sea), only 19% without effort. By contrast, 72% 33% no measures place, despite cultural value. The spatial taxonomic analyses presented here provide guidance for future management as progresses.
