Current paradigms of inland fishery management generally utilize waterbody-specific, fish-centric frameworks designed to regulate fish populations directly, and anglers indirectly, through fish stock enhancement and harvest regulation.

Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge Recreational Hunting and Fishing Plan for New Hampshire and Vermont Position: Support Date: July 6, 2021 To Whom It May Concern: My name is Joseph Mullin, and I am the Assistant Manager, Northeastern States for the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF). As an avid sportsman, and a non-resident license holder who enjoys participating in the many outdoor opportunities that New Hampshire and Vermont have to offer, I submit this letter to express our general support while providing additional recommendations on the Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge Recreational Hunting and Fishing Plan for New Hampshire and Vermont (Hunting and Fishing Plan). It is my earnest hope that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service takes these recommendations into account when producing a final plan for this National Fish and Wildlife Refuge. Since 1989, CSF has dedicated itself to the mission of working with Congress, governors, and state legislatures to protect and advance hunting, angling, recreational shooting and trapping. The unique and collective force of the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus, the Governors Sportsmen's Caucus, and the National Assembly of Sportsmen's Caucuses, working closely with CSF, and with the support of major hunting, recreational fishing and shooting, and trapping organizations, serves as an unprecedented network of pro-sportsmen elected officials that advance the conservation interests of America's hunters and anglers. It is from this voice – with more than three decades of organizational history and a staff with more than a century of combined policy experience on sportsmen’s issues – that we strongly support the proposed Hunting and Fishing Plan and offer additional recommendations.

  • Fish Welfare in Recreational Fishing
    Chapter 19 Fish Welfare in Recreational Fishing Keno Ferter, Steven J. Cooke, Odd-Børre Humborstad, Jonatan Nilsson, and Robert Arlinghaus Abstract Recreational fishing is a popular activity around the globe, and fish welfare issues related to the activity have received increasing attention in some countries, particularly in central and northern Europe and Australia. This chapter offers an introduction to recreational fishing, reviews literature on fish welfare in relation to recreational fishing and provides an overview of potential biological impacts and ways to reduce such impacts. We first focus on the question on how to reduce impacts on the welfare of the fish during recreational fishing. Second, we describe two case studies highlighting that practical implications of the fish welfare discourse may be disjointed from the scientific information base and be rather about fundamental moral questions about the ethical acceptability of the activity per se. We end by providing an outlook on the future of recreational fishing in the light of the current fish welfare discourse. Keywords Best practice guidelines · Catch-and-release · Fish welfare · Function- based approach · Recreational fishing · Sublethal impacts Recreational fishing is a popular activity around the globe (Arlinghaus et al. 2015, 2019). Apart from the recognized biological and socio-economic importance of recreational fishing, fish welfare issues related to the activity have received increas- ing attention in some countries and in the academic literature (Huntingford et al. 2006; Arlinghaus et al. 2007a, b, 2012b; Cooke and Sneddon 2007; Volpato 2009; Arlinghaus and Schwab 2011).

  • THE IMPORTANCE of MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHING in SHANGHAI1 What Is Marine Recreational Fishing?
    IIFET 2014 Australia Conference Proceedings THE IMPORTANCE OF MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHING IN SHANGHAI1 CHEN Ye2 (College of Economies & Management, Shanghai Ocean University) Abstract Recreational fishing, also called sport fishing, is fishing for pleasure or competition. Recreational fishing can advance fisheries technology and benefits related industries. Recreational fishing can also diversify and increase the income of fishermen. Recreational fishing promotes mutual understanding between urban dwellers and fishermen, which is important to “Harmonious Society”. Last but not least, recreational fishing can raise ordinary people’s awareness of the importance of environment protection and territorial waters, which is especially important after China outlined the "maritime power strategy” in 2012. Shanghai, the most modern city in China, is just beside East China Sea (Shanghai means “Upon-the-Sea” in Chinese language). Shanghai is also the birthplace of China’s tourism industry. Shanghainese spent a lot of money on tourism annually. Recreational fishing has the potential to be a big and profitable industry in Shanghai. As people’s income increases, the value of recreational fishing in Shanghai will became more obvious. To order to promote the development of marine recreational fishing, the municipal governance of Shanghai should cooperate with neighboring provinces, set up laws and regulation and promote the development of related industries. Key Words: marine recreational fishing Shanghai What is Marine Recreational Fishing? Recreational fishing, also called sport fisheries, is fishing for pleasure or competition. It can be contrasted with commercial fishing, which is fishing for profit, or subsistence fishing, which is fishing for survival. The most common form of recreational fishing is done with a rod, reel, line, hooks and any one of a wide range of baits.

  • Industrial Ocean Fish Farming
    Industrial Ocean Fish Farming quaculture is one of the fastest growing food production sectors. More A than half of seafood consumed globally is now farmed, and aquaculture recently surpassed global beef production.1 Unfortunately, one of the most prevalent forms of marine aquaculture is fraught with environmental and social havoc. What is Industrial Ocean Fish Farming? Industrial Ocean Fish Farming – sometimes referred to as open ocean or offshore aquaculture – is the mass breeding, rearing, and harvesting of seafood in areas of the ocean that are beyond coastal influence. Mainstream, industrial offshore aquaculture practices are essentially underwater factory farms with devastating environmental and socio-economic impacts. The most popular (and most risky) method of industrial ocean fish farming occurs in underwater net pens, pods, and Photo by NOAA National Ocean Service cages. The raising of finfish, such as salmon and yellowtail, in these difficult-to-manage atmospheres is most problematic because the nets and cages allow for free and unregulated exchange between the farmed fish and the surrounding ocean environment. As detailed below, this open exchange allows for fish escapes and spills, heightened threats to native wildlife, and the introduction of non-native pests and diseases, among numerous other harms. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration currently considers industrial ocean fish farming as a fishing activity under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, 16 U.S.C. § 1801 et seq. Simply because fish are removed from the industrial farm’s nets at time of harvest does not mean the activity is the same as fishing. Indeed, these activities are farming – just as a chicken or pig is raised for human consumption on a land-based farm – and should be regulated as such.

  • Submission to the Productivity Commission Public Inquiry Into the Regulation of Marine Fisheries and Aquaculture
    Vegan Australia Level 3, 50 York Street, Sydney 2000 Email: [email protected] Phone: 0400 492 157 Web: veganaustralia.org.au 31 March 2016 Submission to the Productivity Commission public inquiry into the regulation of Marine Fisheries and Aquaculture Vegan Australia is pleased to have the opportunity to provide a submission to the Productivity Commission public inquiry into the regulation of the Australian Marine Fisheries and Aquaculture Sectors. Vegan Australia is a national organisation that educates the public about animal rights and veganism and also presents a strong voice for veganism to government, institutions, corporations and the media. Vegan Australia envisions a world where all animals live free from human use and ownership. The foundation of Vegan Australia is justice and compassion, for animals as well as for people and the planet. The first step each of us should take to put this compassion into action is to become vegan and to encourage others to do the same. Vegan Australia represents a growing section of the Australian community who believe that animals, including marine animals, should not be subjected to exploitation or cruelty, for any purpose, including food, clothing, and entertainment. As such, at a fundamental level, we believe that Australian fisheries and aquaculture operations should cease, and that Australians should cease to eat or use all animals, including fish and other sea animals, and their products. Instead we should be encouraging Australians to eat a plant-based diet, which has proven health benefits, and to cease using fish for other purposes.
