TL;DR: The highest documented incidence of wildlife entanglement by fishing debris is for the Australian fur seal in Bass Strait and off southern Tasmania, where over the period 1989–1993 approximately 1.5-2% of seals were found with neck collars.

TL;DR: Fishermen were aggregated into high-, mid-, and low-consumptive groups according to the importance they placed on catching fish as mentioned in this paper, which indicated that each consumptive group was unique in the importance it placed on other fish-related variables.
Abstract: Fishermen were aggregated into high-, mid-, and low-consumptive groups according to the importance they placed on catching fish. Analysis of variance indicated that each consumptive group was unique in the importance it placed on other fish-related variables. Low-consumptive fishermen rated most other aspects of the fishing experience, such as interacting with nature, relaxation, and escaping the daily routine, more important than did high-consumptive fishermen. Low-consumptive fishermen also fished more frequently and were generally more satisfied with their most recent fishing trip than were high-consumptive-oriented fishermen. The three groups can be viewed as different fishing constituencies. By understanding their characteristics, we can gain additional insights into the impacts of management decisions on recreational fishermen and their experiences.

TL;DR: In this article, the biology and feeding habits of the cichlid fish Tilapia melanotheron in a small West African lagoon is analyzed, and three alternative methods to increase the quantity of the fish caught in the lagoon are briefly discussed: (a) setting up of an “acadja” fishery; (b) stocking with juvenile Tmelanotheron ; (c) stocking of Mugil spp fry (Tilapia/Mugil polyculture) The availability of Mugili spp fries along the coast makes the
