Investigating Relationships Between Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) and Some Angler Characteristics in the Turkish Inland Recreational Fisheries: A Case Study from Uluabat Lake

Abstract

In this study it is aimed that determining effect of some social and demographic properties on Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) in Uluabat Lake anglers. A total of 375 interview applied with angler from April 2015 to May 2016 monthly period. Mean CPUE values of each angler was estimated as 1.36 fish/hr (0.08-5.67). Generalized additive models (GAMs) was used for evaluating the data set. Variables used in model were age of angler (X1), experience of angler (X2), annual total fishing day (X3), total value of fishing equipment (X4), monthly total income of anglers (X5), household number of anglers (X6) and CPUE of anglers (Y). Effect of all variables on the CPUE were founded not significant (p>0.05), except “Annual total fishing day” (p>0.05). The variables such as monthly total income of anglers, experience of angler, total value of angling equipment and annual total fishing day positively affected CPUE.
