Full description
A model of recreational fisher behaviour for the West Coast Demersal fishery was developed in which fishers optimize fishing time per trip and the number of trips per year conditional on fishing opportunities, constraints on fishing and the opportunity cost of their time. To develop this model surveys were conducted and past surveys analysed. Specifically;- a statistical analysis of a baseline data base which is prior to recent stock and rules changes in the fishery (2003 survey).
- a statistical analysis of a telephone survey of recreational fishers carried out in the 2009/10 fishing season. The survey was carried out in April/May 2010 by West Coast Field Services in a stratified random sample from the new recreational fishing licence database; and
- a final survey and statistical analysis using a telephone survey of recreational fishers in the 2010/11 fishing season. Survey was from January/February/March 2011 by West Coast Field Services.
Lineage
Statement: *A statistical analysis of a baseline data base which is prior to recent stock and rules changes in the fishery* This is 380 person interviews from 2003 funded for McLeod on FRDC 2001/065. Data was collected as telephone interviews by West Coast Field services and is held as an excel spreadsheet. Other formats are: csv and Stata. Survey instrument in rtf format. Locations covered was Kalbarri to Augusta. *A statistical analysis of a telephone survey of recreational fishers carried out in the 2009/10 fishing season* Survey was carried out in April/May 2010 by West Coast Field Services. Survey was a stratified random sample from the new recreational fishing license data base. 798 completed responses held as Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The survey is a .rtf document and The analysis uses a statistical package called STAT which holds data in its own format. The original survey data is in Microsoft Excel, the same data base is also held as a Stata data base so that it can be read into Stata easily for statistical analysis. To guarantee the anonymity of respondents the telephone survey was a stratified random sample of people who had acquired a fishing license. Definition of the regions are by Local Government Areas's (e.g. all LGA's north river in Perth metropolitan area = metro north) . Exact definitions and numbers are attached. * A final survey and statistical analysis using a telephone survey of recreational fishers will be carried out in the 2010/11 fishing season* Survey will be January/February/March 2011 by West Coast Field Services . Completed responses will be again be held as excel data base. Other formats will be Comma Separated Values (.csv) and Stata. Survey instrument will be in rtf format.
Statement: *Telephone survey*
The actual telephone survey responses are in an Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, stored as .csv (Comma Separated Value). The survey questionnaire is needed to sit alongside the data. The survey is a Microsoft word file which as per University instructions is held as .rft file
The labels in the Excel (.csv) data file match the survey instrument. (e.g. q3 in the questionnaire = q3 in the data base).
For actual survey see final report.
