Identifying and establishing the relative importance of different anthropogenic pathways of invasive non-native species (INNS) introduction is critical for effective management of their establishment and spread in the long-term. Angling has been identified as one of these pathways. An online survey of 680 British anglers was conducted to establish patterns of movement by British anglers abroad, and to establish their awareness and use of biosecurity practices. The survey revealed that 44% of British anglers travelled abroad for fishing, visiting 72 different countries. France was the most frequently visited country, accounting for one-third of all trips abroad. The estimated time taken to travel from Western Europe into Great Britain (GB) is within the time frame that INNS have been shown to survive on damp angling equipment. Without biosecurity, it is therefore highly likely that INNS could be unintentionally transported into GB on damp angling gear. Since the launch of the Check, Clean Dry biosecurity campaign in GB in 2011, the number of anglers cleaning their equipment after every trip has increased by 15%, and 80% of anglers now undertake some form of biosecurity. However, a significant proportion of the angling population is still not implementing sufficient, or the correct biosecurity measures to minimize the risk of INNS dispersal on damp angling equipment. With the increase in movement of anglers abroad for fishing, further work is required to establish the potential for INNS introduction through this pathway.

娱乐性垂钓作为非本地入侵物种传播的途径：对生物安全的认识以及长途迁入英国的风险

识别并确定不同的人为侵入性非本地物种（INNS）引入途径的相对重要性，对于有效管理其长期建立和传播至关重要。钓鱼已被确定为这些途径之一。对680名英国垂钓者进行了在线调查，以确定英国垂钓者在国外的活动方式，并建立他们对生物安全做法的认识和使用。调查显示，有44％的英国垂钓者出国捕鱼，访问了72个不同的国家。法国是访问量最高的国家，占所有国外旅行的三分之一。从西欧到英国（GB）的旅行时间估计在INNS在潮湿的钓鱼设备上能够生存的时间范围内。没有生物安全，因此，极有可能将INNS意外地通过潮湿的渔具运输到GB中。自2011年在英国发起“检查，清洁干燥”生物安全运动以来，每次旅行后清洁设备的垂钓者数量增加了15％，现在80％的垂钓者都采取了某种形式的生物安全措施。但是，仍有相当一部分钓鱼者未采取足够的措施，或采取了正确的生物安全措施以尽量减少将INNS分散在潮湿的钓鱼设备上的风险。随着国外垂钓者钓鱼活动的增加，需要进一步的工作来确定通过该途径引入INNS的潜力。2011年开展了GB清洁干生物安全运动，每次旅行后钓鱼者清洁设备的人数增加了15％，现在80％的钓鱼者都在进行某种形式的生物安全。但是，仍有相当一部分钓鱼者未采取足够的措施，或采取了正确的生物安全措施以尽量减少将INNS分散在潮湿的钓鱼设备上的风险。随着国外垂钓者钓鱼活动的增加，需要进一步的工作来确定通过该途径引入INNS的潜力。2011年开展了GB清洁干生物安全运动，每次旅行后钓鱼者清洁设备的人数增加了15％，现在80％的钓鱼者都在进行某种形式的生物安全。但是，仍有相当一部分钓鱼者未采取足够的措施，或采取了正确的生物安全措施以尽量减少将INNS分散在潮湿的钓鱼设备上的风险。随着国外垂钓者钓鱼活动的增加，需要进一步的工作来确定通过该途径引入INNS的潜力。或采取正确的生物安全措施以最大程度减少INNS在潮湿的钓鱼设备上散布的风险。随着国外垂钓者钓鱼活动的增加，需要进一步的工作来确定通过该途径引入INNS的潜力。或采取正确的生物安全措施以最大程度减少INNS在潮湿的钓鱼设备上散布的风险。随着国外垂钓者钓鱼活动的增加，需要进一步的工作来确定通过这种途径引入INNS的潜力。
