Recreational fishing, environment, management, conservation, MalaysiaAbstract
Enjoyed by millions of people of all ages and backgrounds around the world, recreational fishing is a popular activity that has the potential to provide food, social, environmental, and economic benefits. However, if it is poorly managed, it may negatively affect aquatic ecosystems. This study aims to review current research themes addressed by peer-reviewed papers on recreational fishing in Malaysia. A systematic search addressing recreational fishing in Malaysia was performed through web-based scientific search engines to provide adequate evidence. The downloaded data included authors’ names, affiliates, titles, abstracts, keywords, publication year, article types, article languages, and other citation data. By conducting a systematic analysis, results show that all articles address socioeconomics, targeted species, catch-and-release procedures, post-release survival, and management. Despite growing concern in developed countries about the potential economic, social, and environmental benefits of recreational fishing, the benefits of recreational fishing in Malaysia have not been well explored. There is a lack of characterisation, highlighting, and addressing knowledge gaps.
