Recreational Specializations and Motivations of Virginia River Anglers
North American Journal of Fisheries Management, 1988Abstract On-site interviews and a mail questionnaire survey of 377 anglers on two Virginia rivers were used to evaluate the concept of recreational specialization for differentiating angler subgroups. Specialization was defined for four dimensions of angler behavior: (1) fishery resource use, (2) experience, (3) investment, and (4) centrality of ...

Status-quo management of marine recreational fisheries undermines angler welfare [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Significance Marine recreational fisheries are culturally and economically important around the world. However, they often suffer from management that promotes short seasons, congestion, wasteful allocations of fish, and overfishing. We use survey data from anglers taking trips on for-hire vessels in the US Gulf of Mexico to estimate ...

Whenever satisfied anglers are an important objective of recreational fisheries management, understanding how trip outcomes influence satisfaction reports is critical. While anglers, generally, prefer high catch rates and large fish, the relative importance of these catch outcomes for catch satisfaction has not been established across species and ...

Anglers' perceptions of recreational fisheries and fisheries management in Mallorca
Ocean & Coastal Management, 2013The growing relevance of recreational fisheries has increased the need for acceptable, workable and sustainable policies. Identifying the regulatory preferences and perceptions of anglers can assist in determining fishers' behaviors and improving the management of coastal fisheries. In this case study of Mallorca Island, Spain, we investigated anglers'

Small lakes largely outnumber large lakes among the world's lentic ecosystems. Despite being common landscape elements, however, little is known about the value small lakes provide to recreationists. This paper presents results of an economic valuation study concerned with small gravel pits in Lower Saxony, Germany. Gravel pits are artificially created

Use of Recreation Specialization to Understand Resource Knowledge of Trout Anglers
Applied Environmental Education & Communication, 2009This study combined the activity involvement and place attachment scores of trout anglers at Montauk State Park (Missouri, USA) into a typology of recreation specialization. The framework was used to explain anglers' knowledge of park resources. Highly specialized anglers were more knowledgeable about the park than those who were less specialized ...

Testing a Self-Classification Measure of Recreation Specialization Among Anglers
Human Dimensions of Wildlife, 2009Measuring the behavioral, cognitive, and affective dimensions of recreation specialization typically requires multiple variables such as participation, equipment, centrality, and skill. Recent research has tested more efficient approaches such as single-item self-classification measures. This research note extends this approach to fishing and tests the

Angler Success as a Quality Determinant of Sport Fishery Recreational Values
Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 1966Abstract The empirical importance of “angler success per unit of effort” as a quality determinant of recreational values was investigated with regard to three sport fisheries at Yaquina Bay, Oregon. A 10% increase in salmon (Oncorhynchus) angling success would induce a long-run increase in angling effort of approximately 10%, although bottomfish (sea ...
