▼a Bycatch mortality from commercial tuna fisheries threatens billfish populations in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, which are also used for lucrative recreational tourism industries. The recreational billfish fishery in Guatemala is characterized by seasonally high daily sailfish catch rates, consistently 2-3 times higher than anywhere else on Earth, and is entirely catch-and-release. The anglers are predominantly tourists, bringing financial contributions to Guatemala. Until now, Guatemala's government and international tuna management organizations could not consider the value of this sustainable use of billfish resources, because previous estimates were poorly defined and estimated. We used an innovative, market-based technique to estimate the value of Guatemala's recreational fishery, which eliminates the hypothetical bias that has plagued previous estimates of other billfish resources. Based on charter fishing client transactions in 2017, we estimate that the value of the billfish resources in Guatemala is approximately $1 Million when used for catch-and-release fishing. We also identify factors and variables that support the demand for these services. The predominant aspect drawing anglers to fish in Guatemala is their expectation of high daily catch rates |
