Abstract
Catch-and-release (C&R) angling is often used to maintain high catch rates but fish vulnerability to capture may decrease following hooking, thereby decreasing angler catch per unit effort (CPUE) (hyperdepletion). To determine if fish post-capture response affected recapture probability and population-level CPUE, individual capture histories of Largemouth Bass in two lakes were compared before and after doubling angling effort in a Before-After Control-Impact (BACI) analysis. Previous capture and day-of-season both affected recapture probability. Counteracting effects of previous capture and reduced late-season catch rates caused no hyperdepletion of angler CPUE. Our results highlight the complexity of fish behavioral responses to angling and suggest that hyperdepletion of angling catch rates may not be an issue in C&R fisheries.
期刊介绍：
Fisheries Management and Ecology is a journal with an international perspective. It presents papers that cover all aspects of the management, ecology and conservation of inland, estuarine and coastal fisheries.
The Journal aims to:
foster an understanding of the maintenance, development and management of the conditions under which fish populations and communities thrive, and how they and their habitat can be conserved and enhanced;
promote a thorough understanding of the dual nature of fisheries as valuable resources exploited for food, recreational and commercial purposes and as pivotal indicators of aquatic habitat quality and conservation status;
help fisheries managers focus upon policy, management, operational, conservation and ecological issues;
assist fisheries ecologists become more aware of the needs of managers for information, techniques, tools and concepts;
integrate ecological studies with all aspects of management;
ensure that the conservation of fisheries and their environments is a recurring theme in fisheries and aquatic management.
