Abstract: | In a study of consumptiveness among Swedish and Norwegian anglers in Engerdal, eastern Norway, three segments of low-, mid-,
and high-consumptive anglers were identified by replicating a methodology of an earlier study of North American anglers. The
Engerdal anglers were somewhat more catch-oriented than the North American anglers. Anglers in Norway fish to satisfy a complex
set of experience preferences. Low-consumptive anglers rate nature experiences higher than mid- and high-consumptive anglers.
High-consumptive anglers have a somewhat narrower range of experience preferences and are more oriented towards competitive
aspects of fishing. All anglers generally support management efforts directed toward restricting other types of use of the
waters, such as reducing pollution and reducing local fishermen's leisure gill-net fishing. They also support stocking of
fish, but oppose actions restricting angling. However, low-consumptive anglers do not oppose angling restrictions to the same
degree as mid- and high-consumptive groups. Low-consumptive fishermen show a higher degree of specialization and report higher
overall satisfaction with their fishing trips than the other two groups. |
