“…Pay for hire recreational charter fisheries operate in most industrialised and many transitioning and developing countries and provide specific services to anglers, ranging from one‐on‐one guiding experiences to larger group fishing expeditions that can last from a couple of hours to several days (McEachron & Matlock, ; Motta, Mendonca & Moro, ; Savolainen, Fannin & Caffey, ; Solstrand, ). Moreover, such operations can specifically target singular iconic species or a diverse range of species across a plethora of habitats (Motta et al., ; Pradervand & Van der Elst, ).…”

There is international recognition for greater inclusion of recreational fisheries catch data in species, fisheries and ecosystem assessments. Recreational charter fisheries provide important social services and contribute to total species catches. This study compares and validates industry logbook catch and effort data (1,357 trips) against observer data (154 trips) across six ports in a recreational charter fishery in eastern Australia. The mean numbers of clients and fishing effort (hours) per trip varied inconsistently between data sources and among ports. Logbooks did not adequately report released catches, and the mean number of species retained per trip was consistently underestimated in logbooks compared to observer data. For both data sources, catch rates of total individuals and key species displayed similar trends across different units of effort; catch per hour, client, client/hour and trip. The mean catch rates of total individuals and most key species, except those retained for bait, were similar across data sources, as were estimates of total fleet harvests. The length compositions of retained catches of some key species displayed truncation of larger organisms in the observer data whereas other species did not. Despite the shortcomings of the logbook data, future fishery and species monitoring strategies could include industry and observer data sources.

“…charter fishing) (Aas et al, 2008;Dell'Apa et al, 2015;Garner & Patterson, 2015;Holland, Ditton & Gill, 1992;Pradervand & Van der Elst, 2008). This sector plays an important socio-economic service to communities and includes enterprises that range from one-on-one guiding to larger group fishing expeditions that can last from a couple of hours to several days and include many fishers (McEachron & Matlock, 1983;Motta, Mendonca & Moro, 2016;Savolainen, Fannin & Caffey, 2014;Solstrand, 2013). Depending on fleet sizes, numbers of participants and local regulations, such enterprises can potentially harvest and discard large quantities of species across small and large spatial scales (Dell'Apa et al, 2015;Dorf, 2003;Garner & Patterson, 2015;Greiner & Gregg, 2010;Lew & Larson, 2016;McEachron & Matlock, 1983;Pradervand & Van der Elst, 2008).…”

Strategic long‐term sampling programmes that deliver recreational catch, effort and species demographic data are required for the effective assessment and management of recreational fisheries and harvested organisms. This study used a spatially and temporally stratified observer programme to examine variation in the rates, quantities and lengths of retained and discarded catches of key species in a recreational charter fishery. Geographic region, but not season, significantly influenced catch rates of key demersal species, being driven by temporally persistent latitudinal clines in environmental conditions influencing species distributions. There was considerable trip‐to‐trip variation in catch rates that were attributed to localised differences in fishing operations, locations, environmental conditions and client preferences. Broad trends in retained and discarded catch rates were nevertheless, similar across different fishing effort standardisations (per‐trip, per‐hour, per‐client, per‐client/fished hour), demonstrating that the coarsest unit of effort could be used in fishery assessments. Discard rates of organisms were variable and driven by a combination of mandated legal lengths, individual client and operator preferences for particular species and sizes of organisms, and not due to attainment of catch quotas or high‐grading. This study has identified important fishery attributes that require consideration in assessing charter fisheries and stocks of recreational fish species.

“…The summary of our results is shown in Table 14. (2014), it can be concluded that the economic impact of recreational charter fishing in making jobs and total output in our study is more than the results of Savolainen et al (2014). (Minnesota IMPLAN Group, 2009).…”

“…The indirect and induced impacts of total (both saltwater and freshwater) recreational charter fishing on employment generated 253.1 and 186.7 jobs respectively. Furthermore, the total economic impact (sum of direct, indirect, and induced impacts) of fishing led by guides and outfitters created 922.4 full time and part time jobs, made $39.5 million as salaries and wages, and generated $151.19 million as total output.The last row ofTable 15shows the economic impacts of West Florida charter fishing conducted bySavolainen et al (2014). Based on their results, West Florida charter fishing generated an economic output of $119.89 million, labor income of $42.6 million, and 911 jobs in 2014.…”

I dedicate this thesis to my beloved parents, Masoumeh and Mohsen Asadi and to my loving sister and brother Nooshin and Mehran. You have successfully made me the person I am becoming. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Foremost, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my advisor, Dr. Pallab Mozumder, for the continuous support of my graduate study and research, for his patience, motivation, enthusiasm, and immense knowledge. His guidance helped me in all the time of research and writing of this thesis. I truly would like to thank him for allowing me to work in the South Florida Water, Sustainability, and Climate project (NSF Award# 1204762). I could not have imagined having a better advisor and mentor for my graduate study. I also thank my other thesis committee members, Dr. Michael Sukop, Dr. Mahadev Bhat, and Dr. Jennifer Rehage, for their encouragement and insightful comments. My sincere thanks also go to Department of Earth and Environment and Dr. Krish Jayachadran for offering me the assistantship that allowed me to complete my master's degree. Finally, I want to sincerely thank Dr. Kianoosh G. Boroojeni for his helpful feedback on my thesis. v
