What is The Recreational value of Atlantic salmon angling under different fishing regulations about?

Recreational fishing for Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. has been and still is a popular recreational activity in rivers around the North Atlantic (Stensland et al., 2017). Further, it creates income for local communities, landowners and fishing tourism actors (Andersen et al., 2019;Stensland, 2010; and the activity itself educates stewards and advocates for stock protection (Granek et al., 2008). Worldwide, salmon stocks have dwindled and are at an all-time low, much due to anthropogenic impacts (Gayeski et al., 2018). Consequently, rivers have been closed for fishing, seasons have been shortened or catch restrictions have been imposed to protect spawning stocks. In Norway, which has a high proportion of salmon stocks with more than 400 salmon rivers, stricter regulations were imposed on a general scale after 2009 due to new spawning escapement goals demanding more fish and a general decline in returns from the ocean. Such changes in any fishery typically impact harvest levels, angler participation (Stensland et al., 2017), their satisfaction (Oh et al., 2005) and recreational value (Layman et al., 1996;Stoll & Ditton, 2006). Anglers accordingly need to adapt to such new measures,
