The Role of Recreational Fishing in Global Fish Crises [PDF]

BioScience, 2004
Abstract Exploitation of fishery resources has become a major conservation issue on a global scale. Commercial fisheries have been repeatedly blamed for the worldwide declines in fish populations. However, we contend that the recreational fishing sector also has the potential to negatively affect fish and fisheries.

An interrupted time series approach to assess Marine Protected Area impacts on recreational fishing licence sales

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 32, Issue 12, Page 1970-1982, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are increasingly used as a management and conservation strategy. However, the effects of MPA implementation (i.e. restrictions on extractive use) on recreational fishers' spatial behaviour are often not considered.

Accessible ecophysiological tools for seabird conservation

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 32, Issue 12, Page 1983-2002, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Seabirds are the most endangered avian taxa on Earth, with over a third of species globally threatened. To help slow their decline, conservation physiology seeks to determine how seabird responses to climatic and anthropogenic threats influence demographic processes, but it is not widely utilized in monitoring.

Effects of stochasticity and social norms on complex dynamics of fisheries [PDF]

Phys. Rev. E 103, 022401 (2021), 2020
Recreational fishing is a highly socio-ecological process. Although recreational fisheries are self-regulating and resilient, changing anthropogenic pressure drives these fisheries to overharvest and collapse. Here, we evaluate the effect of demographic and environmental stochasticity for a social-ecological two-species fish model.

Gambling and crime: An exploration of gambling availability and culture in an English prison

Criminal Behaviour and Mental Health, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 389-403, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background There is evidence that prisoners have the highest rate of problem gambling in any population, but little is known about the nature of in‐prison gambling, the motives for it or how it relates to prior gambling behaviour. Aims To investigate the prevalence and type of gambling prior to prison and the prevalence, type, and reasons for ...

A survey of dioxin-like contaminants in fish from recreational fishing [PDF]

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2015
The dioxin and dioxin-like compounds are regarded as one of the most toxic group of environmental contaminants. Food for the commercial market is regularly monitored for their dioxin levels and the concentration allowed in food is strictly regulated.

Designs, Motion Mechanism, Motion Coordination, and Communication of Bionic Robot Fishes: A Survey [PDF]

, 2022
In the last few years, there have been many new developments and significant accomplishments in the research of bionic robot fishes. However, in terms of swimming performance, existing bionic robot fishes lag far behind fish, prompting researchers to constantly develop innovative designs of various bionic robot fishes. In this paper, the latest designs
