Recreational or sports fishing is a multi-billion dollar industry
worldwide and in many countries represents an important social and
cultural activity. In some regions, it also contributes significant
income to tourism and tackle businesses. In addition to its
importance from a social and economic standpoint, the impact of
recreational fishing on the environment and on food webs can often
be substantial.
This important book represents the major output from the 4th
World Recreational Fishing Conference held in Norway in June 2005.
The conference focused on several topics and targeted all
stakeholders in the recreational fishing sector, including
researchers, managers, NGO representatives and businesses. This
book reflects that diversity, encompassing a variety of approaches
within its carefully selected and fully peer-reviewed chapters.
"Global Challenges in Recreational Fisheries" is an essential
purchase for fisheries managers, multidisciplinary fisheries
scientists, marine and freshwater biologists, ecologists and
environmental scientists. The book is highly relevant for graduate
university courses in fisheries management and fisheries sciences.
Libraries in all universities, government fish and wildlife
agencies and research establishments where these subjects are
studied and taught will need copies of this important
publication.
