Fishing motives and economic effects of climate change – An application on Arctic char in northern Sweden
Motives for fishing differ among fishers, which may imply different effects of climate change on the net values of fishing. Climate change has impacts on fish population dynamics and on other factors in the fishers’ harvest decision, such as alternative sources of food or income. Here we present a b...

Motives for fishing differ among fishers, which may imply different effects of climate change on the net values of fishing.
