Abstract
The removal of fish biomass by marine recreational fishery (MRF) for some fish species can be substantial. This makes its inclusion into stock management necessary. The impact of policy changes on angler behavior is, however, difficult to predict. Agent-based modeling and simulation appears as a promising approach, as it allows to include different types of agents with their individual decision strategies and social networks. Biomass removal by MRF was recently considered in stock assessment for western Baltic cod, but without consideration of angler behavior. Rich unexploited data sources are available, as data about anglers and catches has been collected for years, including surveys about the anglers decision making. Based on this data, we will develop an agent-based model of recreational fisheries for western Baltic cod. We will apply methods for managing the provenance of simulation models to make the foundations of the model, including assumptions and data, explicit.
