Angler Heterogeneity and Species-Specific Demand for Recreational Fishing in the Southeast United States* Tim Haab (Ohio State University) Rob Hicks (College of William and Mary) Kurt Schnier (University of Rhode Island) John Whitehead (Appalachian State University) AFS Annual Meeting, Lake Placid, NY, Sept. 10-14, 2006 *MARFIN #NA06NMF4330055 Targeting behavior Compare various angler targeting models single-species aggregates of related species all species combined Our research will consider: Our research will consider: Species substitution Estimate angler willingness to substitute to other species or species groups when fishing quality or fishing management changes Our research will: Estimate how willingness to substitute species might differ by angler type socioeconomic factors preferences gear type (i.e., mode) Our research will: Provide species-specific estimates of economic value for: changes in fishing quality management (e.g., size limits, bag limits) To date: We have identified the feasibility of demand modeling at the species level Estimated a prototype single species demand model MRFSS 2000 LA to NC n = 70,781 Southeast 2000 (Limited Valuation Round) n = 42,079 Hook and line trips only (99%), day trips only (67%), delete missing values on key variables n = 18,709 Targets a species n=11,257 Fishing mode State of intercept Species 425 unique species caught by recreational anglers sampled by the MRFSS 15 species account for 82% of the targeting activity and 38% of the (type 1) catch Top 5 target species of interest Spotted seatrout 23% Red drum 20% Dolphin 6% King mackerel 6% Spanish mackerel 4% Species groups Big game 4% Bottom fish 4% Flat fish 5% Small game 11% Snapper - grouper 15% Target Behavior Any Species Dolphin sign p-value sign p-value Intercept + p .01 - p .01 Years fished + p .01 - p .01 Boat owner + p .01 + Shore mode - p .01 Charter mode - p .01 + p .01 Days fished + p .01 - p .01 Wave 4 - - p .01 Wave 5 + p .01 - p .01 Wav
