重要的是要了解休闲垂钓者的捕鱼动机，以预测何时，何地以及如何与可能对过度捕捞敏感的物种相互作用。到目前为止，很少有研究调查垂钓者的动机，在休闲渔业是非常远离他们的垂钓者人口，需要专门的垂钓者技能，并构成其他障碍，如高旅行和设备成本的参与。我们统称为“高门槛”渔业，并探讨垂钓者的动机及其对垂钓者决策的影响，在一个特别遥远的例子，蒙古苍蝇渔业濒危的哲罗鱼，哲罗鱼，世界上最大的鲑鱼。我们使用混合方法的方法，丰富的离散选择实验与深入的定性访谈数据，调查垂钓者的动机，参与在台门渔业，他们的满意度的捕鱼经验，并表示有兴趣在未来参与渔业。我们发现，垂钓者更喜欢较少的高质量，奖杯大小的鱼，以更高的捕获率较小的泰蒙，但活动的一般因素，如有机会前往一个“异国情调”的荒野目的地也是高度激励。我们抽样的钓鱼者都是第一次钓到台门鱼，许多人都是遗愿清单上的钓鱼者，他们一生都在寻求各种各样的钓鱼旅游体验，因此不打算回到台门渔场。相反，这些渔民从世界各地，特别是发展中国家的一系列类似偏远，专业化和昂贵的渔业中选择他们未来的行程。我们认为，这些高门槛的渔业不应该孤立地研究，而是将受益于一个统一的研究方法，占其独特的特征和共同的垂钓人口。
It is important to understand recreational anglers’ motivations for fishing in order to predict when, where, and how they interact with species that can be sensitive to overfishing. So far, few studies have investigated angler motivation in recreational fisheries that are extremely distant from their angler population, require specialized angler skill, and pose other barriers to participation like high travel and equipment costs. We collectively refer to these as “high-threshold” fisheries and explore angler motivation and its implications for anglers’ decision-making in one particularly remote example, the Mongolian fly fishery for endangered taimen,Hucho taimen, the largest salmonid in the world. We used a mixed-methods approach that enriched discrete choice experiments with in-depth qualitative interview data to investigate anglers’ motivations for participating in the taimen fishery, their satisfaction with the fishing experience, and their stated interest in participating in the fishery in the future. We found that anglers preferred fewer high-quality, trophy-sized fish to a higher catch rate of smaller taimen, but that activity-general factors like the opportunity to travel to an “exotic” wilderness destination were also highly motivating. The anglers we sampled were all first-time taimen fishermen and many were bucket-list anglers who sought a wide variety of fishing tourism experiences throughout their lifetime and therefore and had no intention to return to the taimen fishery. Instead, these fishermen selected their future trips from among a set of similarly remote, specialized, and costly fisheries throughout the world, especially in developing countries. We argue that these high-threshold fisheries should not be studied in isolation but instead would benefit from a unified research approach that accounts for their unique traits and shared angler population.
