Humanity’s diverse predatory niche and its ecological consequences

Although humans have long been predators with enduring nutritive and cultural relationships their prey, seldom conservation ecologists considered the divergent predatory behavior of contemporary, industrialized humans. Recognizing that number, strength diversity predator-prey can profoundly influence biodiversity, here we analyze humanity's modern day interactions vertebrates estimate ecological consequences. Analysing IUCN 'use trade' data for ~47,000 species, show fishers, hunters other animal collectors prey on more than a third (~15,000 species) Earth's vertebrates. Assessed over equivalent ranges, exploit up to 300 times species comparable non-human predators. Exploitation pet trade, medicine, uses now affects almost as many those targeted food consumption, 40% exploited are threatened by human use. Trait space analyses birds mammals exploitation occupy disproportionally large unique region trait space, at risk loss. These patterns suggest far subject human-imposed (e.g., landscapes fear) evolutionary harvest selection) processes previously considered. Moreover, continued overexploitation will likely bear profound consequences biodiversity ecosystem function.

Global responses to the COVID-19 pandemic by recreational anglers: considerations for developing more resilient and sustainable fisheries

Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 33(4), С. 1095 - 1111

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.

Depredation rates and spatial overlap between Great Hammerheads and Tarpon in a recreational fishing hot spot

Marine and Coastal Fisheries, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 16(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 22, 2024

Abstract Objective Shark depredation, the full or partial consumption of a hooked fish by shark before it is landed, an increasing source human–wildlife conflict in recreational fisheries. Reports depredation catch‐and‐release Tarpon (also known as Atlantic Tarpon) Megalops atlanticus fishery Florida Keys are increasing, specifically Bahia Honda, fishing hot spot and putative prespawning aggregation site. Methods Using visual surveys we quantified rates drivers depredation. With acoustic telemetry, simultaneously tracked 51 14 Great Hammerheads Hammerhead Sharks) Sphyrna mokarran , most common to depredate Tarpon, quantify residency spatial overlap Honda. Result During survey, 394 were hooked. The combined observed immediate postrelease predation rate was 15.3% for that fought longer than 5 min. Survival analysis decision trees showed risk highest first 5–12 min fight on outgoing current. spawning season, shifted their space use Honda with core areas. restricted current when compared incoming current, which could drive increased shark–angler interactions. Conclusion has clear ecological importance both feeding ground. mortality raise conservation concerns fishery. Efforts educate anglers improve best practices, including reducing times ending prematurely sharks present, will be essential increase survival reduce conflict.

A global review of marine recreational spearfishing

Abstract Recreational spearfishing is a fishing method that occurs globally, yet receives considerably less attention in the scientific literature relative to other recreational methods, such as angling. Lack of information on may negatively affect development and management marine fisheries. We conducted systematic review 102 peer-reviewed papers published between 1967 2022 pertaining spearfishing. Based this review, we provide an overview key insights across social, economic, ecological dimensions While spearfishers represent than 5% fishers, participants are younger differ from anglers their motivations, with suggestions increased well-being generated close connection sea during underwater fishing. mostly target species moderate high levels vulnerability mid trophic level carnivores. Though can deliberately larger individuals exploited populations, not generalizable pattern. Despite growing body research impacts spearfishing, there limited knowledge these effects mechanisms biological organization (e.g., individual, population, community ecosystem) compared those methods. contribute advances knowledge, inclusive participatory could step towards transformative sustainable Throughout identify gaps areas where future needed better inform socio-economic importance, ecosystem

Angling counts: Harnessing the power of technological advances for recreational fishing surveys

Fisheries Research, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 254, С. 106410 - 106410

Опубликована: Июнь 23, 2022

As the popularity of recreational fishing gathers global momentum, so does importance knowing number active anglers and their spatial behaviour. Conventional counting methods, however, can be inaccurate time-consuming. Here we present two novel methods to monitor applied in Kaunas water reservoir (ca 65 km2), Lithuania, comparing performance a conventional visual count. First, employed remotely piloted fixed wing drone which conducted 39 missions distributed over one year compared its accuracy land or boat-based counts. With these data developed linear model predict annual depending on weekday ice conditions. Second, used anonymous from popular GPS-enabled sonar device Deeper®, by explore underwater landscapes find fish. The usage probability was calibrated with angler observations drones using Bayesian demonstrating that at any given time ~2 % are during open season ~15 season. values were then estimate total anglers, daily records reservoir. predicted both drone-based sonar-based gave similar results 25 27 thousand within area period day surveyed, corresponded nearly 110 angling trips annually. Our study shows high potential fish finder digital devices for assessing activities through space time.
