A human dimensions investigation into tourist anglers in a coastal recreational fishing hotspot in northern Australia is presented. Tourist anglers target one species, javelin grunter, Pomadasys kaakan (Cuvier), raising concerns about the sustainability of the fishery. Data from a survey of 427 tourist angling parties that fished in the coastal water off Karumba (Queensland) were analysed. Exploratory factor analysis was performed on angler target species and motivation for fishing to establish a typology of fishing intentions, with fishing for food found to be the principal factor. Anglers with high fishing for food factor scores were more consumptive, lower spending (per day) and more averse to any potential measures that might reduce legal possession (creel) limits or impose a cost of fishing. It was concluded that a combination of tourism and fisheries management interventions is required to safeguard Karumba's iconic javelin grunter fishery into the future. Diversification of tourist activity options can reduce the tourism industry's current reliance on high‐consumptive tourist anglers and increase the destination's appeal to non‐fishing tourists and low‐consumptive anglers. Modification of angler behaviour can be achieved through reduced possession limits for javelin grunter and possibly other target species, improved monitoring and law enforcement efforts, and targeted education and information.

“…Hilborn et al, 2001). In fisheries management, realisation of the predicted shift of the paradigm from utilisation to conservation (Cowx and Arlinghaus, 2008) may profoundly affect commercial inland fisheries. In 2005 the EU-27 catches from inland waters only accounted for a little over 1% of the world catch from such waters and only 2% of the catches from all EU-27 fisheries.…”

Key-words: inland fisheries, property rights, institutions, EuropeEuropean inland commercial fisheries exhibit a wide spectrum of fishing modes, and have experienced major changes over recent decades. A peculiar feature of inland fisheries is the deep dependence on resources usually owned by someone else than a fisher. Therefore institutions such as property rights regimes, have a profound influence on the prerequisites to carry out commercial inland fisheries. We examined whether two main property right regimes, public or private, have alleviated commercial inland fishers' access to fishing grounds in member countries of the European Inland Fisheries Advisory Commission, EIFAC. Public ownership prevailed in two countries out of three. Commercial inland catch and employment (number of fishers) for countries with mostly public ownership were nearly six times greater than for those with mostly private ownership. Ratios of both commercial inland catch and employment to inland water area were over nine times greater for countries were fisheries were publicly managed in comparison with privately managed fisheries. This outcome contradicts the presumption of privatisation of fishing rights as a tool to increase efficiency of commercial utilisation of inland water fish resources. RÉSUMÉLe régime des droits de propriété affecte-t-il les résultats des pêcheries commerciales des eaux continentales européennes ? Mots-clés : pêcheries continentales, droits de propriété, institutions, EuropeLes pêcheries commerciales dans les eaux continentales européennes présentent une large gamme de modes de pêche et ont subi des changements importants ces dernières décades. Une caractéristique particulière des pêcheries intérieures est la forte dépendance des ressources souvent possédées par d'autres que les pêcheurs. Par conséquent, les institutions comme les régimes de droit à la propriété ont une forte influence sur les conditions préalables à la mise en place des pêcheries commerciales intérieures. Nous avons examiné comment les deux régimes principaux de droit à la propriété, public ou privé, influent sur l'accès des pêcheurs commerciaux aux sites de pêche dans les pays membres de la Commission Européenne Consultative pour la Pêche dans les Eaux Intérieures, CECPI. La propriété publique prévaut dans deux pays sur trois. Les captures commerciales et le nombre d'emplois dans les pays de propriété publique principale sont près de six fois plus forts que dans les pays à propriété privée majoritaire. Les rapports à la fois entre captures commerciales, emploi et la surface des eaux pêchées sont plus de neuf fois supérieurs pour les pays où les pêcheries sont gérées publiquement. Ces résultats contredisent la supposition que la privatisation des droits de pêche serait un moyen d'accroître l'efficacité d'utilisation des ressources piscicoles des eaux intérieures.

“…FAO‐European Inland Fisheries Advisory Commission (EIFAC), European Anglers Alliance (EAA)] have highlighted the need for an international CoP for recreational fisheries. Such a CoP would reduce the need for national, provincial and local authorities to develop their own code as they could use and adapt an international document that sets a minimum standard of ethically permissible, environmentally friendly and, depending on local situations, socially acceptable recreational fishing (Cowx & Arlinghaus 2008). After some delay in development, primarily because of lack of funding, the EIFAC instigated the development of a CoP for recreational fisheries.…”

An in-depth explanation of selected content of the European Inland Fisheries Advisory CommissionÕs ÔCode of Practice for Recreational FisheriesÕ (CoP) is presented. The focus is on core areas that were intensely debated in the drafting the CoP. These include definition of recreational fishing, recreational fishing practices, fish welfare, recreational fisheries management and research. It is anticipated that the CoP for recreational fisheries promotes best practice and management principles for sustainable recreational fisheries, within the recreational fisheries sector and ancillary industries/sectors regionally, nationally, and ultimately globally. To be viable, the CoP for recreational fisheries must be adopted by the international community complementing the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
