Abstract

Angler demographics and behaviors have a significant impact on recreational fishery-dependent data, and recently, human dimensions have become more widely recognized as an important part of fisheries management. California’s steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) report card program has served to track recreational fishing effort and catch each calendar year for management purposes through angler self-reporting. However, angler report card return rates are consistently low, and there has been no recent effort to investigate angler attributes that may be contributing to nonresponse. This study evaluated trends in angler demographics as they relate to annual steelhead report card return rates as well as online reporting rates across the 2012–2019 study period. The study also assessed whether specific demographic or behavioral characteristics may affect the likelihood of anglers returning their report cards. Older, more avid anglers were found to have a greater likelihood of reporting in general. Motivations or deterrents for response vs. nonresponse could not be identified due to data limitations and should be the subject of future research.

加利福尼亚州休闲钢鳟鱼垂钓报告卡计划中垂钓者不回应的人文因素

垂钓者的人口统计和行为对依赖于休闲渔业的数据有重大影响，最近，人类因素已被更广泛地视为渔业管理的重要组成部分。加利福尼亚州的钢头鱼（Oncorhynchus mykiss）报告卡计划通过垂钓者的自我报告来跟踪每年的休闲捕鱼努力量和渔获量，以达到管理目的。然而，垂钓者报告卡的回复率一直很低，而且最近也没有对可能导致不回复的垂钓者属性进行调查。本研究评估了垂钓者人口统计学趋势，因为它们与年度钢镞报告卡回收率以及 2012-2019 年研究期间的在线报告率有关。该研究还评估了特定人口统计或行为特征是否会影响垂钓者交回报告卡的可能性。研究发现，年龄更大、更热衷于垂钓的人一般更有可能提交报告。由于数据限制，无法确定回复与不回复的动机或阻止因素，这应该是未来研究的主题。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
