This study examined the spending patterns and behaviour of 10,000 surveyed fishing licence holders to build a picture of the market value of freshwater angling in England. 皇冠体育app project showed that freshwater angling contributed 拢1.46 billion to the economy and supported 27,000 full-time equivalent jobs in 2015. 皇冠体育app study also estimated the values associated with changes in quality of a fishing site showing, for example, that anglers place greatest value on a shift from low to medium fish abundance.
