TL;DR: Policymakers and managers need to acknowledge and address the recreational fisheries sector, rethink management objectives and schemes, involve recreational fishers in decision-making processes, incentivize sustainable angler behavior, and improve data collection and monitoring.

TL;DR: This work uses data before and after the implementation of large spatial closures in a North Pacific trawl fishery to show how closures designed for red king crab protection spurred dramatic increases in Pacific halibut bycatch due to both direct displacement effects and indirect effects from adaptations in fishermen's targeting behavior.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the bias introduced by effects that overlap the zone of capitalization for nonmarket goods can dominate the usual omitted variable bias using data on developer-provided open space.

TL;DR: In this article, a synthesis of the multi-disciplinary literature on modelling recreational angler behaviour to inform management of recreational fisheries is presented to facilitate access to the broader literature on modeling angler behavior with the ultimate goal of improving recreational fisheries management.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors develop a numerical approach for approximating the value of capital that integrates estimates from ecology and economics, and employ the method to recover credible accounting prices for a pound of Gulf of Mexico reef fish as a capital asset under real-world management conditions.
