Popis: | One of the key challenges in recreational fisheries management is to provide a rational basis for decisions in the face of conflicting objectives, such as improving angling opportunities, maintaining satisfaction across a diverse fishing client base, controlling costs, and conserving wild populations. We developed a multi-criteria decision analysis approach for managing recreational trout fisheries (e.g., Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss). The approach was implemented in a Bayesian decision network. The decision support tool, called “Stock-Optim,” provides a user-friendly interface for predicting fishery performance from alternate stocking prescriptions. The tool integrates survey information on angler typology and satisfaction with previously developed models for fish biology and fishery dynamics to more fully consider the biological and social outcomes of management decisions. Specifically, the tool evaluated alternative stocking options given three performance criteria: angler effort, angler s... |
