Inland recreational fisheries provide numerous socio-economic benefits to fishers, families and communities. Recreationally harvested fish are also frequently consumed and may provide affordable and sustainable but undervalued contributions to human nutrition. Quantifying the degree to which recreationally harvested fish contribute to food security and subsistence is impeded by lack of data on harvest and consumption and by the difficulty in differentiating among recreational and subsistence fisheries. Recreational harvest records tend to be limited to wealthy, food-secure countries and well-monitored fisheries with clear regulations or permitting systems. These records often neglect components of recreational harvest among food-insecure fishers who are potentially more likely to have consumption as a motivation. Here, we highlight the ‘fuzzy boundary’ that can exist between inland recreational and subsistence fisheries and argue that unreported consumption is likely to be a hidden contributor to food security in some populations. We draw on local case studies from around the world to highlight specific instances where recreationally harvested fish species contribute food and subsistence benefits to participating communities. We use these examples to highlight the diversity of ways that inland recreational fisheries contribute to human nutrition, knowledge gaps in understanding recreational fishing for food, and consequences of not accounting for them as food fisheries in policy and management. The aim of this paper is to draw the attention of resource managers and policy makers, create greater social awareness of the importance of recreational fisheries and bring to light this hidden contribution of inland fisheries to nutrition and subsistence.

颠覆刻板印象：休闲和自给内陆渔业之间的模糊界限

内陆休闲渔业为渔民、家庭和社区提供了许多社会经济效益。娱乐性捕捞的鱼也经常被消费，可能会为人类营养提供负担得起和可持续但被低估的贡献。由于缺乏关于收获和消费的数据以及难以区分休闲渔业和自给渔业，对休闲捕捞鱼类对粮食安全和生存的贡献程度进行量化受到阻碍。娱乐性收获记录往往仅限于富裕、粮食安全的国家和具有明确法规或许可系统的监管良好的渔业。这些记录往往忽略了粮食不安全渔民的休闲收获部分，他们可能更有可能将消费作为动机。这里，我们强调了内陆休闲渔业和自给渔业之间可能存在的“模糊界限”，并认为未报告的消费可能是某些人群粮食安全的隐藏因素。我们利用来自世界各地的当地案例研究来强调娱乐性捕捞的鱼类为参与社区贡献食物和生计利益的具体实例。我们使用这些例子来强调内陆休闲渔业对人类营养的贡献方式的多样性，在理解休闲捕鱼以获取食物方面的知识差距，以及在政策和管理中不将其作为食用渔业考虑的后果。本文的目的是引起资源管理者和政策制定者的注意，
