“…This allows the estimation of demand for multiple sites, substitution across sites, and is consistent with utility maximisation theory (Phaneuf & Smith, 2005). Recent applications include domestic tourism in Spain (Bujosa, Riera, & Torres, 2015), Japan (Wu, Zhang, & Fujiwara, 2011) and China (Yang, Fik, & Zhang, 2013), angling in New Zealand (Mkwara, Marsh, & Scarpa, 2015) and lake recreation in Iowa (Smirnov & Egan, 2012).…”

“…In the case of recreational fishing, some surveys may be conducted in the field, at the fishing spot or in angling competitions (Hanley et al, 1998;Lee et al, 2014;Lawrence, 2005), or otherwise by approaching anglers in specialised shops without any particular sampling. Time and resource constraints prompt some studies to use postal surveys (Carson et al, 2009;Olaussen, 2016;Arlinghaus et al, 2014;Carter and Liese, 2012), telephone surveys (Mkwara et al, 2015), e-mail surveys (Beville and Kerr, 2009) or a combination of these (Adamowicz et al, 1994;Lew and Larson, 2015). For reasons of geographic scale and time and budget constraints, we chose to conduct our survey by e-mail with an online questionnaire and by post when we did not have the anglers' e-mail address.…”

“…The effect of season as a significant attributes of fishing sites choice has been rarely highlighted in literature. Only Mkwara et al (2015) show that recreational fishing destinations vary in their attractiveness in different season and Swallows (1994) argues that seasonality in fishing leads to demand shifts within sub-seasons. Respondents also place a high value on fishing in less frequented rivers (deviation in mean of €18).…”

Catch-and-release (C&R) could be an interesting management tool in recreational fisheries as long as mortality remains low and the anglers' well-being does not drop. We used a choice experiment to examine the potential of C&R angling as a monitoring tool for the salmon recreational fishery in Brittany (France) in summer 2017. Anglers were asked to choose between hypothetical fishing day trips differing in terms of their combination of relevant attributes and levels and distance to travel. From the analysis of respondents' trade-offs between the fishing trip's attributes, willingness-to-pay were estimated for each level of attribute. Our results show that anglers prefer unrestrictive regulations. On average, we observe that C&R has a depressive effect on the valuation of the fishing day. However, some socioeconomic groups positively value C&R. All in all, the majority of the anglers nonetheless hold a positive valuation of a C&R fishing day, which could therefore be used to generate economic returns for the river once the total admissible capture (TAC) is reached. Lastly, the fishing season, and especially the level of river use, impact more on the value of fishing than C&R.

“…It can also be applied at the level of the choice set of possible sites to visit, by using random utility models that relate the probability that a site is chosen with the characteristics of the site and the travel costs to access it. The choice of a site implicitly reveals how an angler trades off one site characteristic for another and the willingness to pay for changes in each characteristic (Train 1998, Murdock 2006, Mkwara et al 2015, Melstrom et al 2015.…”

This paper estimates the value of improvements in the quality of freshwater angling sites in England, combining the results of stated preference (SP) models and a revealed preference (RP) model of the anglers' actual choices of fishing sites and number of trips over a season.The paper provides comprehensive information into what anglers value and how much, considering all fishery types (coarse, game, and mixed) and water body types (river, stillwater, and canal) and a wide range of fish species. The study also considers several locational characteristics of the fishing sites, which have seldom been included in either SP or RP studies. We found that anglers attach a substantial value to lack of pollution, availability of pegs, and an attractive site environment. On average, the maximum possible improvement in one of these attributes in a given site more than doubles the number of visitors to that site and generates a total additional benefit of more than £10 per existing trip. Increases in fish size and quantity are also predicted to cause considerable changes in the number of visits and additional benefit, especially when moving from small/low to medium levels.
