Development of cod recreational
fisheries in Poland
”Marine life changes”
• is presented as a change in a pattern of marine exploitation
observed in Polish fisheries
• cod recreational fisheries development and its impact on cod is
one of the aspects of the change

Type of vessels exploited in cod
recreational fisheries
1.
commercial fishing vessels exploited in recreational fishing in a certain part part of
the year (summer ban) and for the rest of the year exploited in commercial fishing
2.
former fishing vessels withdrawn from commercial fishing (fishing equipment
disassembled) and adapted to recreational fishing
3.
other type of vessels (previously never used in fishing)

The estimate of total yearly catch of cod
in recreational fisheries
•
there is no landind statistics available, therefore total catch
can only be an estimated value
•
in estimation of total catch, two raising procedures were
applied:
by number of anglers
by number of trips
Estimated total catch [t]
• total catch of cod in
recreational fisheries
represented approx. 4-5%
of Polish 2007 cod catch

Summary:
rapid development of recreational fisheries is a world general trend
which affects marine life by increasing fishing pressure on some
species and their life-span components
recreational fisheries is not regulated in a form applied to commercial
fisheries (e.g. total allowable catch), which in consequence requires
different methodology to study recreational fisheries
there is a need to strengthen international co-operation in order to find
common approach to sampling methods allowing for estimating
recreational fisheries and finally evaluating the impact on marine
species
