Understanding satisfaction is an important aspect of the management of recreational fisheries. We investigated fishing trip satisfaction from data collected via a Danish citizen science platform that allows anglers to report information from their fishing trips through a smartphone application and a webpage. Trip satisfaction was related to a set of predictor variables covering classical catch constructs such as trip outcomes, angler motives to capture angler-specific expectations, and contextual conditions (e.g., air temperature, and water body/species combinations). We hypothesized that catch, motives, and general trip context would jointly affect trip satisfaction, with motives serving as a moderator, such that the relative importance of catch in driving angler satisfaction varies with the leading motive. Using mixed ordinal logistic regression, we identified several significant predictors of trip satisfaction, specifically catch outcomes at the trip level, trip motivation, trip context, year of the trip, recall period, air temperature and angling effort (hours spent fishing). As expected, trip-level catch was an important and positive driver of satisfaction, but catch also interacted with trip motivation, trip context, and angling effort. The perceived angler benefit from catch was much higher for anglers fishing for activity-specific motivations (e.g., to experience the excitement of catching a fish) compared to anglers fishing for activity-general motivations (e.g., to experience and be close to nature). The benefit from catch was also higher in some trip contexts (e.g., trips for salmonids in streams) compared to others (e.g., trips for predatory fish in lakes). The benefit from catch was also higher on shorter fishing trips (e.g., 1 h) compared to longer fishing trips (e.g., 5 h), which indicate that higher catch rates yields higher satisfaction (i.e., an effect of catch per unit effort). We also found a recall period effect (i.e., days between conducting and logging a fishing trip), in which the trip satisfaction was generally higher as the recall period increased. Additionally, increasing air temperature had a positive effect on satisfaction. We conclude that angler satisfaction is affected by external (trip context and catch outcomes) and a range of internal factors (e.g., motives). Managers are unlikely to be able to manage internal factors (e.g., motivations) and some contextual factors (e.g., air temperature) and hence a focus on external factors, specifically catch, seems important if the aim is to generate or maintain satisfied anglers.

了解满意度是休闲渔业管理的一个重要方面。我们通过丹麦公民科学平台收集的数据调查了钓鱼之旅的满意度，该平台允许垂钓者通过智能手机应用程序和网页报告钓鱼之旅的信息。旅行满意度与一组涵盖经典渔获结构的预测变量有关，例如旅行结果、垂钓者捕捉垂钓者特定期望的动机和环境条件（例如，气温和水体/物种组合）。我们假设捕获量、动机和一般旅行背景将共同影响旅行满意度，其中动机起到调节作用，因此捕获量在驾驶垂钓者满意度中的相对重要性随主要动机而变化。使用混合序数逻辑回归，我们确定了旅行满意度的几个重要预测因素，特别是旅行水平的捕获结果、旅行动机、旅行背景、旅行年份、回忆期、气温和钓鱼努力（钓鱼时间）。正如预期的那样，旅行级别的捕获量是满意度的一个重要且积极的驱动因素，但捕获量也与旅行动机、旅行背景和钓鱼努力相互作用。与以活动一般动机（例如，体验和亲近自然）为目的的垂钓者相比，出于特定活动动机（例如，体验捕鱼的兴奋）的垂钓者从捕获中感知到的垂钓者收益要高得多。与其他情况（例如，在湖泊中捕食掠食性鱼类）相比，在某些旅行环境中（例如，在溪流中捕捞鲑鱼），从捕获中获得的收益也更高。与较长的捕鱼行程（如 5 小时）相比，较短的捕鱼行程（如 1 小时）的捕获收益也较高，这表明较高的捕获率产生较高的满意度（即单位努力的捕获量的影响）。我们还发现了回忆期效应（即进行钓鱼旅行和记录钓鱼旅行之间的天数），其中随着回忆期的增加，旅行满意度通常更高。此外，气温升高对满意度有积极影响。我们得出结论，垂钓者的满意度受到外部（旅行背景和捕获结果）和一系列内部因素（例如，动机）的影响。管理人员不太可能管理内部因素（例如，动机）和一些环境因素（例如，气温），因此关注外部因素，特别是捕获，
