Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tradicionaly recreational fishery management has focused on dynamics of individual fish populations. Attempts to improve fish populations center on manipulations of harvest or the population itself. However, outcomes of fishery management actions have been difficult to forecast. Ecological processes within fish communities and angler responses can produce unanticipated effects. This thesis documents my research on these processes in Lake Mendota to make fishery management a more holistic, predictive science. A food web manipulation began in 1987. This project used several fishery management tools to increase the biomass of piscivorus gamefish to evaluate food web manipulation as a water quality management tool. Forecasting and measuring direct and indirect effects of the manipulation were important objetives. To forecast how management would affect piscivore populations, and their consumption of prey, I combined two computer models: an age-structured population model and a bioenergetics model. This technique predicted how size, abundance, and consumption of piscivores changed with stocking rates and sire limits. A walleye stocking program that yielded 8,000 yearling/year doubled consumption demand; adding a 381-mm minimum size limit achieved another 50% increase. To predict consequences of piscivore management for prey populations, I studied predador and prey fish populations. Highley variable prey recuitment made forecasting impacts of piscivory difficult. Based on historic recruitment patterns, enhanced walleye populations could consume 65-100% of young-of-year perch biomass produced in low recruitment years. When recruitment was high walleyes consumed less than 5% of the biomass. Translating predicted piscivore consumption into perch dynamics was accomplished by incorporating prey recruitment uncertainty. Angler response to piscivore enhancements was intense. Angler effort increased four-fold and harvest rates doubled to 60% per year. As a result, forescasts of piscivore consumption demand and the effectiveness of food web manipulation dependend heavily on responses of sport anglers to piscivore populations. Hence, a better understanding of angler dynamics was required before ecological effects of fishery management actions could be predicted. I developed a predatory-prey model to study angler-piscivore interactions. This approach linked angler and fish dynamics, and provided the means to incorporate fish, anglers, and management actions within one framework.

Book Synopsis "All Fishers are Equal Before Fish" by : Ahmad Shendi
Download or read book "All Fishers are Equal Before Fish" written by Ahmad Shendi and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is increasing recognition of the sociocultural, economic, and ecological significance of recreational fishing as a fundamental element of the global wild capture fisheries. In New Zealand, recreational fishing is a very popular activity that many New Zealanders identify with, and that provides a variety of social, cultural and economic benefits for New Zealanders. Despite the significance of the recreational fishing sector as a resource user and contributor to fisheries impacts, it has gained little attention within fisheries management in New Zealand. Using the Hauraki Gulf as a case study, this research investigates the efforts to manage the New Zealand recreational fisheries sector within the current centralised management regime. To ensure the future sustainability of the fisheries resources and the health of the marine ecosystem, this research argues the importance of integrating the recreational fisheries sector into fisheries management. This involves examining current fisheries management in New Zealand, specifically the Quota Management System (QMS), and factors affecting the integration of the recreational sector. This research also considers the potential of Ecosystem Based Management (EBM) as a holistic approach to provide for the interests, needs and values of all stakeholders while also maintaining the health and function of the marine ecosystem. To achieve the research objectives, a qualitative methodology was adopted. In addition to the case study, key methods employed for this research were semi-structured interviews with recreational fishers and other stakeholders, and questionnaires with recreational fishers. The key findings highlight the importance of understanding the complex and dynamic nature of the sector so as to improve management of the sector. The research also indicates that participation and involvement of the recreational sector in fisheries management would remain limited if the legislative rights of the recreational sector under the Fisheries Act were not addressed and the distrust recreational fishers have towards the commercial sector and government was not resolved. Finally, the successful integration of the recreational sector also depends on the ability of recreational fishers to organise themselves and resolve their internal issues. The failure to do so would most likely see the continuation of current centralised fisheries management regime, where recreational fishers remain reliant on the voting booths to make their voices heard, and their direct influence on decision making remains limited.

Book Synopsis Holistic Approach to Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management by : Francisco Arreguín-Sánchez
Download or read book Holistic Approach to Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management written by Francisco Arreguín-Sánchez and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-30 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides cutting-edge scientific idea and novel concepts on the ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management. It begins by reviewing the scientific fundamentals and problems currently faced by conventional fisheries science, based on population dynamics. In turn, it reviews the theoretical basis of ecosystem dynamics, including selected ecosystem indicators. Surplus production and balanced harvests are discussed in the ecosystem dynamics context. Several ecosystem-holistic indicators are described, but particular emphasis is placed on two: the noxicline (gain in entropy due to loss of biomass) and resilience, which are expressed as ecosystem (holistic) points of reference for defining allowable harvest rates. Both biological (population) and ecosystem (holistic) points of reference are subsequently analyzed in the context of fisheries management and conservation. An adaptability concept is also discussed as a management policy for facing climate change. In closing, the concepts presented are applied to six study cases involving a range of different ecosystems and fisheries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Increasing coastal populations, rising recreational demand, and growing conflicts with other users are adding to the challenge of managing marine recreational fisheries today. Traditional regulations - such as daily bag limits and seasonal closures - are often not enough to control fishing impacts and they tend to generate greater discontent and lower economic benefits in the angling community as they become more restrictive. This volume is the first to examine management approaches that promise to better control fishing, generate more information on fishing impacts, and give anglers more freedom to enjoy their sport."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Fishing, Gone? written by Sid Dobrin and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-27 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans have a rapacious relationship with the world’s ocean, extracting immeasurable quantities of its inhabitants and resources, while simultaneously depositing unbound sums of pollution into it. If we are to move toward sustainable practices, then we must first move toward ways of thinking about fish and fisheries beyond mere economic agendas. And there is one group in particular who could make an impact: saltwater anglers. Recreational saltwater fishing is big business and big culture. The industry is one of the largest in the United States, but that has not translated into a cohesive effort, agenda, or ethic. Saltwater anglers, a diverse group with a range of motivations, do not belong to a single organization through which to galvanize significant voting or lobbying power toward conservation regulation. As a result, federal policymakers have traditionally focused on commercial harvesting interests. Dubbed the “most contemplative of pastimes,” recreational fishing provides a valuable perspective on how humans interact with saltwater environments. Fishing, Gone? builds on this tradition of reflection and opens up the saltwater sportfishing life as a method for thinking through the current status of marine fisheries and environment. Author Sid Dobrin calls on fellow saltwater anglers to reconsider their relationship to fishes and the ocean—the sport can no longer be only about the joy and freedom of fishing, but it must also be about living for the ocean, living with the ocean, and living through the ocean. It is about securing the opportunity to fish on while meeting the economic and environmental challenges that lie ahead.

Download or read book Freshwater Recreational Fishing written by William J. Vaughan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, signed into law in 1972, dramatically redirected the nation’s water pollution control efforts and set out ambitious national goals, expressed both in terms of discharge controls and of resulting water quality. Originally published in 1982, this title examines the benefits that a reduction in the discharge of water pollutants has for recreational fisherman including an increase in the total availability of fishable natural water bodies and an improvement in the aesthetic quality of the fishing experience. It is a valuable resource for students interested in environmental studies and public policy making.

Book Synopsis Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management by : Jason S. Link
Download or read book Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management written by Jason S. Link and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecosystem-based fishery management (EBFM) is rapidly becoming the default approach in global fisheries management. The clarity of what EBFM means is sharpening each year and there is now a real need to evaluate progress and assess the effectiveness and impacts. By examining a suite of over 90 indicators (including socioeconomic, governance, environmental forcing, major pressures, systems ecology, and fisheries criteria) for 9 major US fishery ecosystem jurisdictions, the authors systematically track the progress the country has made towards advancing EBFM and making it an operational reality. The assessment covers a wide range of data in both time (multiple decades) and space (from the tropics to the poles, representing over 10% of the world's ocean surface area). The authors view progress towards the implementation of EBFM as synonymous with improved management of living marine resources in general, and highlight the findings from a national perspective. Although US-centric, the lessons learned are directly applicable for all parts of the global ocean. Much work remains, but significant progress has already been made to better address many of the challenges facing the sustainable management of our living marine resources. This is an essential and accessible reference for all fisheries professionals who are currently practicing, or progressing towards, ecosystem-based fisheries management. It will also be of relevance and use to researchers, teachers, managers, and graduate students in marine ecology, fisheries biology, biological oceanography, global change biology, conservation biology, and marine resource management.
