Marine recreational fisheries (MRF) have important social and economic benefits, but can impact fish stocks and the environment. The diverse and dispersed nature of these fisheries makes them challenging to study; a lack of data has made it more difficult to include them in fisheries management and the varied motivations of fishers makes their response to management measures hard to predict. Research into MRF is growing rapidly, so this themed article set aims to bring together MRF research to highlight the current evidence base and identify future opportunities. New survey methods were presented alongside analyses of existing data, which highlighted issues with methods, reconstruction of missing data, and factors influencing catch and effort. The manuscripts demonstrated the biological and economic impacts of MRF, and its self-subsidizing nature was recognized. Novel approaches for management, including improving compliance, were identified. Finally, the lack of funding for MRF was highlighted. Key research gaps are: governance that embeds MRF in fisheries management; integration of novel approaches and traditional surveys; risk-based approaches to identify impacts; understanding fish welfare; management that balances economic, social, and biological impacts and allows allocation between sectors; and understanding social benefits and their impacts on management and compliance.

海洋休闲渔业-现状和未来机会

海洋休闲渔业（MRF）具有重要的社会和经济效益，但会影响鱼类资源和环境。这些渔业的多样性和分散性使其难以研究。缺乏数据使将它们纳入渔业管理变得更加困难，渔民的动机多种多样，使得他们对管理措施的反应难以预测。对MRF的研究正在迅速发展，因此，本主题文章旨在将MRF研究结合在一起，以突出当前的证据基础并确定未来的机会。在对现有数据进行分析的同时，还提出了新的调查方法，这些方法突出了方法问题，缺失数据的重建以及影响捕获量和工作量的因素。手稿证明了MRF的生物学和经济影响，并且它的自我补贴性质得到了认可。确定了新的管理方法，包括改善合规性。最后，强调了缺乏用于MRF的资金。主要的研究差距是：将MRF嵌入渔业管理的治理；融合新方法和传统调查；基于风险的方法来确定影响；了解鱼类福利；平衡经济，社会和生物影响并允许部门之间分配的管理；并了解社会效益及其对管理和合规性的影响。基于风险的方法来确定影响；了解鱼类福利；平衡经济，社会和生物影响并允许部门之间分配的管理；并了解社会效益及其对管理和合规性的影响。基于风险的方法来确定影响；了解鱼类福利；平衡经济，社会和生物影响并允许部门之间分配的管理；并了解社会效益及其对管理和合规性的影响。
