Summary

This project plans to develop a model that integrates a multi-site, multi-species, seasonal model of angler demand for sport fishing with a dynamic, bioeconomic model of fish stocks for the purpose of comparing the welfare impacts and conservation implications of various recreational fishery management alternatives. The model will be calibrated and applied to recreational fisheries for lake trout and Chinook salmon in the Wisconsin Great Lakes and utilize the model to devaluate a range of policy options in light of multiple management ojbectives for lake trout recovery and the maximization of the value of the fishery for recreational anglers.
