Limited Entry in Recreational Fisheries -- Has Its Time Come?

Richard W. Luebke and Robert K. Betsill, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, HC 07, Box 62, Ingram, Texas 78025


The relation between catch and effort is examined in the context of recreational fisheries. The concept of limited entry as a means of increasing angler catch rates is developed, empirical data demonstrating the catch-effort relationship is presented and ramifications of limited entry in fisheries management are discussed. Limited entry may have a place in the future of freshwater fisheries management.
