Recreational fishing

from Ocean Pod

In this episode of Ocean Pod, we take a look at the world of recreational fishing with Tom Tyczenko, Director at RecFish South Australia, passionate recreational fisher, content creator, and emerging fisheries scientist. We explore why recreational fishing is such an important part of Australian culture, what species people are targeting, and how science helps ensure our fisheries remain sustainable for future generations. Tom also shares insights from his honours research on mulloway, one of South Australia’s most iconic recreational fishing species, and discusses how understanding the biology and life history of fish can support better management and conservation. This episode offers a fascinating look at the connection between people, fish, and the marine environment. In Tide Talk this week Bronwyn speaks about a paper that uses recreational fishing photos to get more information on fish - https://doi.org/10.1111/faf.70097
