The Recreational value of Atlantic salmon angling under different fishing regulations

Timing is everything: Fishing‐season placement may represent the most important angling‐induced evolutionary pressure on Atlantic salmon populations

Fisheries-induced evolution can change the trajectory of wild fish populations by selectively targeting certain phenotypes. For important fish species like Atlantic salmon, this could have large implications for their conservation and management. Most salmon rivers are managed by specifying an angling season of predetermined length based on population demography, which is typically established ...

The Recreational Fishing Value of Sea Lamprey Control: Project Overview

Recreational Fishing Use-Values for Michigan’s Great Lake Trout and Salmon Fisheries

The manuscript summarizes the results of a travel cost model developed for recreational angling in Michigan. The model and method are briefly described. The discussion focusses on how Great Lakes trout and salmon catch rates were related to angler behavior. The model is used to value changes in trout and salmon catch rates at Great Lakes fishing sites in Michigan. Fish population levels can be ...

The Economic Value of Marine Recreational Fishing: Analysis of the MRFSS 1998 Pacific Add-on

Marine Recreational Fishing Statistics Survey (MRFSS) economic add-on data has been collected since 1994. The data are comprised of two geographically identical datasets for the Southeast region (1997, 2000), five identical datasets for the Northeast region (1994, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000), and one dataset for the Pacific region (1998). Measures of the economic value of fishing sites and harvest ...

Fishing in a Speech Stream - Angling for a Lexicon

We present a learning device able to deduce a set of Danish color and shape terms. Only two data sources are available to the learner: A phonetic transcription of a human informant solving a description task, and a minimal formal model of the picture being described. The system thus contains no preconceived lexical, morphological, or semantic categories. The test data are from the phonetic corp...
