A global review of marine recreational spearfishing
Sbragaglia, Valerio; Arlinghaus, Robert; Blumstein, Daniel T.; Diogo, Hugo; Giglio, Vinicius J.; Gordoa, Ana; Januchowski-Hartley, Fraser AndrewRecreational spearfishing is a fishing method that occurs globally, yet receives considerably less attention in the scientific literature relative to other recreational fishing methods, such as angling. Lack of scientific information on spearfishing may negatively affect the development and management of marine recreational fisheries. We conducted a systematic review of 102 peer-reviewed papers published betwee...

This paper reviews and analyses the drivers of these changes, and makes recommendations for the future management of SSF. From the biological standpoint, the use of fishing gears that actively select certain species,...

Hyder, Kieran; Weltersbach, Marc Simon; Armstrong, Mike; Ferter, Keno; Townhill, Bryony; Ahvonen, Anssi; Arlinghaus, Robert; Baikov, AndreiMarine recreational fishing (MRF) is a high-participation activity with large economic value and social benefits globally, and it impacts on some fish stocks. Although reporting MRF catches is a European Union legislative requirement, estimates are only available for some countries. Here, data on numbers of fishers, participation rates, days fished, expenditures, and catches of two widely targeted species were ...

Pita, Pablo; Artetxe, Inaqui; Diogo, Hugo; Gomes, Pedro T.; Gordoa, Ana; Hyder, Kieran; Pereira, Joao; Pita, Cristina; Rangel, MafaldaMarine Recreational Fishing (MRF) is an important activity in Europe, with 9 million fishers and generating annually 6 billion in direct expenditures. However, there is a lack of data and understanding of MRF in Europe, particularly in Southern countries, which prevents a number of fish stocks from being effectively assessed and managed. In November 2016, a participatory workshop on MRF was held in Vigo (Spain)...
