Popis: Competitive fishing is a large and growing use of fishery resources that offers benefits and creates problems for fishery managers. Successful integration of competitive fishing with noncompetitive anglers and other aquatic resource users will require current and comprehensive data about competitive fishing events and additional information about sociological aspects, economic values, and biological effects of competitive fishing. In this paper we summarize available sociological, economic, and biological information about competitive fishing and suggest directions for future research. We suggest a permit system to obtain needed data about competitive fishing events and minimize social and biological problems associated with them. Competitive fishing provides communication channels between fishery managers and anglers. Integration of competitive fishing with other aquatic resource uses will require effective communication programs.
