CASE STUDY OF RECREATIONAL FISHING IN RAJOVA (RAJOVIC) RIVER (MONTENEGRO) PRELIMINARY RESEARCH: PART 2

J. BULATOVIĆ, G. RAJOVIĆ

Abstract


Recreational fishing is a popular activity around the globe, and fish welfare issues related to the activity have received increasing attention in some countries, particularly in central and eastern Europe. This work offers an introduction to recreational fishing, reviews the literature on fish welfare in relation to recreational fishing and provides an overview of potential biological impacts and ways to reduce such impacts. We first focus on the question of how to reduce impacts on the welfare of fish during recreational fishing. Second, we describe a case study on the Rajova (Rajović) River (Montenegro), highlighting that practical implications of the fish welfare discourse may be disjointed from the scientific information base and be about fundamental moral questions about the ethical acceptability of the activity per se. We end by providing an outlook on the future of recreational fishing in light of the current fish welfare discourse.
