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.

Is it possible to contribute to the recovery of European grayling (Thymallus thymallus, Salmonidae) populations by stocking cultured brood fish in the pre‐spawning period?

Journal of Fish Biology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Abstract European grayling populations have declined significantly in their central range, prompting numerous stocking programs with reared fish that did not bring desirable population prosperity. This study evaluated the effectiveness of long‐reared brood before spawning period. It focused on monitoring presence juveniles coming from natural spawn stream and recapture rates growth parameters stocked to estimate adaptability a river environment. The results revealed rate was notably low, significant increases only length but decreases condition factor, suggesting poor wild. limited number young‐of‐year further indicated low reproductive success. These highlight inadequacies this approach strengthen wild population. We suggest alternative strategies, such as using younger stock implementing protective measures like catch‐and‐release, which may improve conservation efforts enhance success programs.

Anglers Perceptions About European Catfish Silurus glanis in a Newly Invaded Region

Diversity, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 17(4), С. 252 - 252

Опубликована: Март 31, 2025

To avoid the spread and environmental impacts of European catfish (Silurus glanis), which arrived in Portugal around 2006, it is fundamental to understand anglers’ behaviors perceptions. address this need, 339 Portuguese anglers were surveyed online face-to-face divided into two groups (catfish anglers, n = 115; non-catfish 224). The majority males (>95%) who consider that not beneficial development angling (>62%) acknowledge its negative impact on other fish species (>84%), mainly by predation (>89%). Catfish perceive as more positive for species. Principal Component Analysis showed are driven their awareness experience. Regression modeling inferred probabilities behavior (targeting practice catch release) one perception angling), considered promoters invasion, detected strong correlations among these three variables. Therefore, strongly advised implement an educational law enforcement program stop illegal practices promote dissemination invasive like catfish.

Expected mortality risk for coho salmon landed in recreational troll fisheries using 1/0 and 6/0 hooks in the marine waters of Washington state

PeerJ, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 13, С. e19434 - e19434

Recreational salmon fisheries in the state of Washington are managed with size-selective and mark-selective rules to promote release wild undersized salmon. In order for this management approach be effective, fishery must have low mortality hooked released study, we directly compared fishing performance small (1/0, 14.36 mm gap) large (6/0, 17.20 hooks recreational troll goal evaluating differences drop-off rates, size caught, probability a fish would region documented low, intermediary, or high risk mortality. We found strong evidence that hook affects an angler can land rates 48.9% on (1/0) 34.0% (6/0) hooks.

The observation reduced landed using as when highlights importance effect during post-release survival will hopefully stimulate research effects modeling regulations improve conservation.

The evaluation system for the fishing harbor transition to sustainable sailing-yacht tourism

Frontiers in Sustainable Tourism, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 4

Опубликована: Июнь 3, 2025

Introduction Fishing harbor cities often face decline due to the depletion of fishing resources. In response, this study aims develop an expert evaluation system assist in transitioning these harbors toward sustainable sailing-yacht tourism. Such a transition aligns with objectives Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 14 (Life Below Water) and 11 (Sustainable Cities Communities). Methods To construct framework, Analytical Network Process (ANP) was used determine interdependent relationships among criteria, while Technique for Order Preference by Similarity Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) applied rank prioritize alternatives. This integrated approach facilitated comprehensive model sustainability transitions redevelopment. Results An empirical case conducted Asia-Pacific region demonstrated application selecting ideal The combined ANP-TOPSIS effectively identified most suitable systematically analyzing multiple dimensions related tourism development. Discussion research contributes planning development harbors, urban areas, It offers grounded decision-making methods. Furthermore, findings suggest that especially those archipelagic regions, possess significant potential transformation into destinations, supporting broader SDG implementation efforts.

A commentary on the role of hatcheries and stocking programs in salmon conservation and adapting ourselves to less‐than‐wild futures

Fish and Fisheries, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 25(4), С. 750 - 760

Abstract Hatcheries and stocking programs serve a variety of objectives, including the conservation salmon populations. Much attention has been given to importance genetic integrity adaptive capacity stocks, particularly as they interact with hatchery‐origin fish. Literature on hatchery increasingly focused indicators quality success, genetically ‘wild’ valued over hatchery‐influenced salmon. However, in Anthropocene is challenging paradigms wildness definitions success. For populations that exist ragged edge climate change where threats are unlikely be remediated status ecologies past, role hatcheries becomes convoluted. If or ‘natural’ depend archetypes situated historic ecologies, then what do futures look like? In context, we argue expand from primarily criteria for additional cognizant hybrid ecosystems future human‐salmon relationships. We draw concept epistemologies within context conservation‐oriented critically reflect knowledge values underlie efforts changing which situated. critique discourses rooted western thought make suggestions toward reimagining conservation‐via‐hatchery allows expansive futures. Critically, conclude warnings against using arguments this paper social permission use panacea.
