High-resolution app data reveal sustained increases in recreational fishing effort in Europe during and after COVID-19 lockdowns [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 It is well recognized that COVID-19 lockdowns impacted human interactions with natural ecosystems. One example is recreational fishing, which, in developed countries, involves approximately 10% of people. Fishing licence sales and observations at angling

Recreational fishing, health and well-being: findings from a cross-sectional survey. [PDF]
Ecosyst People (Abingdon), 2022 We evaluated the associations between marine recreational fishing, stress, seafood consumption, and sleep quality in a cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey of a convenience sample of 244 fishers recruited in 2019 in Spain.

Impacts of Recreational Angling on Fish Population Recovery after a Commercial Fishing Ban
Fishes, 2022 It is often assumed that recreational fishing has negligible influences on fish stocks compared to commercial fishing. However, for inland water bodies in densely populated areas, this assumption may not be supported.

The impact of marine recreational fishing on key fish stocks in European waters. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2018 Marine recreational fishing (MRF) has been shown to substantially contribute to fishing mortality of marine fish. However, European MRF catches are only quantified for a small number of stocks, so it is unclear whether a significant part of fishing ...

Illegal recreational fishing causes a decline in a fishery targeted species (Snapper: Chrysophrys auratus) within a remote no-take marine protected area. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2019 One role of Marine Protected Areas is to protect biodiversity; however, illegal fishing activity can reduce the effectiveness of protection. Quantifying illegal fishing effort within no-take MPAs is difficult and the impacts of illegal fishing on ...

Eco-evolutionary responses to recreational fishing under different harvest regulations. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2018 Harvesting alters demography and life histories of exploited populations, and there is mounting evidence that rapid phenotypic changes at the individual level can occur when harvest is intensive. Therefore, recreational fishing is expected to induce both

Historical Patterns and Drivers of Spatial Changes in Recreational Fishing Activity in Puget Sound, Washington. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Small-scale fisheries are the primary users of many coastal fish stocks; yet, spatial and temporal patterns of recreational and subsistence fishing in coastal marine ecosystems are poorly documented.
