description |
The role of recreational fisheries in the exploitation pressure on fish resources is increasingly recognized. This has led to the introduction of new harvest regulations for several European marine recreational fisheries. Such regulations have been shown to increase the practice of regulatory catch-and-release (C&R). Additionally, anglers have been shown to practice voluntary C&R due to various personal motivations. Access-point surveys in two study areas in Northern and Southern Norway found that marine angling tourists release more than 60% of their catch for several species due to regulatory and voluntary C&R. For Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) alone, this corresponds to more than one million individuals released annually by angling tourists in Norway. A review of published, unpublished and grey literature on C&R for nine European marine recreational fisheries found that C&R is a common practice in many European countries. Among the studied European marine species caught by recreational anglers, the highest absolute release numbers were found for Atlantic cod. Impacts of C&R on Atlantic cod under best practice conditions, and the effects of different capture depths on barotrauma symptoms and post-release mortality of cod were investigated in a telemetry study and a containment study, respectively. The telemetry study showed that some cod show behavioral alterations after C&R, but can recover quickly if they are caught in shallow waters (<20 m) and properly handled before release. The containment study showed that even though cod develop several barotrauma symptoms depending on capture depth, short-term mortality due to barotrauma is negligible (assuming minimal predation) if cod submerge quickly and are otherwise not substantially injured. Based on these results and other studies, a framework for the development of best practice C&R guidelines for cod is presented. To ensure that the study findings are understood and adopted by fisheries managers and anglers, efficient ... |
