Description

In northern industrialized countries, recreational fisheries have long dominated the inland fisheries sector. Recreational fisheries management is as much management of people as fish stock management. However, little was known about the human dimensions of anglers in Germany. This lack of knowledge precluded to develop sustainable recreational fisheries management approaches. To evaluate more precisely the key issues surrounding sustainable management in recreational fisheries, theoretical analyses of the peer-reviewed literature and empirical off-site survey-based analyses of recreational fisheries and its management were conducted. The results of the scientific studies are summarized in this dissertation. Angler surveys covered specialized anglers (mail and internet survey among carp, Cyprinus carpio, anglers, N=710), urban anglers of Berlin (mail survey, N=1061) and a random sample of active anglers (telephone survey, N=474) and of the general population (telephone survey, N=323) living in Germany. This books, inter alia, presents data on characteristics and behavior of various angler groupings, describes the existing user and management conflicts and strives to offer solutions towards a more effective management of recreational fisheries on larger scales. By considering elements presented in this dissertation, the prospects for sustainability might be improved.
