It is evident that fishery stakeholder groups are not homogenous, and that inter- and intra-group variation can exist in the form of unique perspectives, motivations for fishery participation, and receptiveness to management measures. However, management agencies often allocate quota and design regulatory plans around distinct groups, such as recreational versus commercial sectors. Our study used the commercial fishery for Striped Bass Morone saxatilis as a case study to explore the motivations and behaviors of commercial fishers in Massachusetts. Results of an online and mail survey suggest that many commercial fishers maintain several motivations for fishing, including both monetary and non-monetary, like the desire to be outdoors. Intended behavior differences emerged in response to several hypothetical regulatory scenarios, and these disparate behaviors could be partly explained by heterogeneity in fisher motivations and other fishing and non-fishing attributes. Additionally, we uncovered spillover effects, whereby effort controls could impact other commercial and recreational fisheries. We recommend a relaxation of the assumption that commercial fishers are solely motivated by monetary outcomes, and that holistic approaches to management include information on fisher behavior and motivations.

条纹鲈商业渔业的动机和行为反应的多样性

很明显，渔业利益相关者群体不是同质的，群体间和群体内的差异可能以独特的视角、渔业参与的动机和对管理措施的接受度的形式存在。然而，管理机构经常围绕不同的群体分配配额和设计监管计划，例如娱乐部门与商业部门。我们的研究使用了条纹鲈鱼Morone saxatilis的商业渔业作为一个案例研究，探讨马萨诸塞州商业渔民的动机和行为。在线和邮件调查的结果表明，许多商业渔民保持多种捕鱼动机，包括金钱和非金钱动机，例如户外活动的愿望。预期的行为差异是针对几种假设的监管情景而出现的，这些不同的行为可以部分解释为渔民动机和其他捕鱼和非捕鱼属性的异质性。此外，我们发现了溢出效应，即努力控制可能会影响其他商业和休闲渔业。我们建议放宽商业渔民完全受货币结果驱动的假设，
