ABSTRACT Recreational fishing extends beyond catching fish, by connecting individuals with nature, generating environmental stewards, and contributing to local, regional, national economies. Multi‐ inter‐disciplinary research, integrative management, policy approaches can support better assessment of potential impacts recreational on social‐ecological systems. Transdisciplinary thinking supports managing fisheries effectively, but poses challenges for researchers managers balancing specialized expertise innovative, boundary‐crossing perspectives in light limited funding a rapidly changing environment. The World Fishing Conference (WRFC) serves as the leading global scientific forum addressing these challenges, fostering interdisciplinary exchange among scientists, managers, makers, stakeholders. Papers this special issue represent output last WRFC Melbourne, Australia, 2023. By reviewing content papers published present issue, we illustrate critical role collaborative spaces, such series, bridging different innovation, thereby securing adaptive management conservation response changes. Evaluating development over three decades highlights how conference series represents think tank serving entire network professionals globally.

Abstract In Namibia, fisheries are important for food security and protein provisioning, income generation trade; but they vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Not only does change impact marine living resources crucial fisheries; changes in weather, currents storminess affecting safety effectiveness fishing. Here we ask: What key risks from eight large-scale fishery sectors recreational small-scale (artisanal) fisheries? For each sector, assessed three main risk components: (1) hazard exposure; (2) fish species sensitivity; (3) socio-economic vulnerability. combination, these components then used calculate overall fishery. Climate exposure was as highest small-scale, recreational, rock lobster fisheries. Species sensitivities were crab fisheries, followed by monkfish trawlers, hake liners trawlers. Socio-economic vulnerability small pelagic (linked collapse pilchard). The emerged greatest fishery, (highly marginalised) artisanal sector emerging this assessment, informed five stakeholder workshops held across Namibia 2023, attended representatives aimed at exploring options adaptation. Based on these, discuss potential adaptation measures that could reduce minimise consequences, support improved resilience Namibian

Abstract Despite extensive research on the importance and impacts of recreational fisheries, there is a shortage information regulatory compliance in sector. While fishing has economic social benefits, risks to ecosystem health resource sharing are exacerbated by non-compliance with regulations. This manuscript explores methodologies employed for assessing fisheries provide recommendations best practices understanding non-compliance. Using EBSCOhost database searches keywords pertaining compliance, total 558 studies were reviewed. Of these, only 49 specifically examined fisheries. A broad range methods have been used assess including surveys, observations, law enforcement records analysis, netnography, self-reporting, modelling, forensic investigations. these methods, although costly, suitable estimating various facets most detailed data. other such as records, netnography indirect observation, more cost-effective, they limited detecting presence some types should be initially determine if may exist fishery. Understanding dynamics essential formulating effective management strategies, which aim mitigate adverse ecosystems while maximising its socio-economic advantages. It advisable individuals interested comprehending within specific fishery first employ capable ascertaining existence Subsequently, implement gather extent underlying factors contributing non-compliance, through surveys utilising questioning techniques. Ultimately, this study advocates enhanced efforts from researchers it poses significant threat sustainability

In this study, we described and compared the diet, monthly feeding intensity, condition of west coast steenbras (Lithognathus aureti) silver kob (Argyrosomus inodorus) caught at a unique habitat in northern Benguela. Stomach contents 179 114 from October 2020 to September 2022 were investigated. The peak intensity appeared be opportunistic during winter summer periods depending on food availability. fish condition, however, peaked beginning (October) end (April) austral spawning period, with hepatosomatic index (HSI) 1.5% factor (CF) 0.022%. Seven prey taxa found diet (bivalves, bony fishes, other mollusks, algae, crustaceans, cnidaria, polychaetas) six starfish, zooplankton), indicating generalist behavior both species. bivalves most important items (95.9% relative importance [IRI]). crustaceans (83.1% IRI) fishes (16.0% IRI). Crustaceans small-to-medium-sized kob, whereas larger (>75 cm), significant differences IRI% by size class. Schoener's niche overlap indicated relatively low overall (0.11) between kob. This allows them coexist as their habits allow occupy niches coastal reef sandy reduce competition for resources.
