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

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 ...

Recreational Fishing Impacts in an Offshore and Deep-Water Marine Park: Examining Patterns in Fished Species Using Hybrid Frequentist Model Selection and Bayesian Inference [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 No-take marine reserves are often located in remote locations far away from human activity, limiting perceived impact on extractive users but also reducing their use for investigating impacts of fishing.

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.

Recreational Fishing as Tourism [PDF]
Fisheries, 2002 Abstract In addition to being an outdoor recreation activity for residents in each state, fishing can also be considered a form of tourism when anglers cross state lines to go fishing. Efforts are underway in each state to promote tourism, including recreational fishing, in the name of economic development.
