We studied long-term trends in catches per unit effort (CPUE; fish h-1) of four sport fish taxa in the Flathead River, Montana, following changes in hydroelectric operations at the Sliš Ksanka QispProject (SKQP; formerly Kerr Dam). Prior to 1997 SKQP operations caused frequent, unnatural flow...

Non-native salmonids are protected in the Southern hemisphere where they sustain aquaculture and lucrative sport fisheries, but also impact many native fishes, which poses a conservation conundrum. Legal protection and human-assisted secondary releases may have helped salmonids to spread, but this...

Sport fisheries are frequent drivers of nonnative fish introductions throughout the inland waters of North America. These fisheries often value aggressive, large-bodied predators, and although they satiate angling demand they are also potentially problematic in systems that support imperiled...

There are often limited data available to support the sustainable management of recreational fisheries. Electronic citizen science platforms (e.g., smartphone applications) offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional survey methods - but these data must be validated. The researchers compared...

Brown Trout Salmo trutta are a popular sport fish, and numerous populations that are unable to successfully reproduce are maintained with supplemental stockings in waters with habitat that can support individual survival (e.g., appropriate thermal refuge). Long-term management of these populations...

In this paper we model recreational anglers' decisions to voluntarily release their catch to improve fish stock conservation. Using a random utility framework, we compare anglers' utility of retaining and consuming fish versus increased stock conservation achieved by fish releases. The analysis is...

Wild Atlantic salmon and sea trout are in danger in several fisheries of the northern hemisphere due to anthropic activities. The pressures on fish stocks include excessive commercial and recreational harvests, as well as habitat depletion. In this paper, we present a choice experiment assessment...

After 150 years of introduction of the brown trout Salmo trutta in Himalaya, the native species' response to this globally pervasive invader, is still unknown. Here, we investigate the effects of invasion of brown trout on native snow trout Schizothorax richardsonii, one of the most primitive...
