This paper presents results from the first known population-based survey of recreational fishers in Louisiana (n=1774). The ultimate goal of this study was to obtain data in support of the development of regional advisories for a high exposure population with unique seafood consumption patterns. Between July and August of 2008, a survey was mailed to a random sample of licensed recreational fishers to characterize local fishing habits, sportfish consumption, and advisory awareness. Eighty-eight percent of respondents reported eating sportfish. Respondents ate an estimated mean of four fish meals per month, of which, approximately half were sportfish. Over half of all sportfish meals (54%) were caught in the Gulf of Mexico or bordering brackish areas. Sportfish consumption varied by license and gender; and was highest among Sportsman's Paradise license holders (2.8±0.2 meals per month), and males (2.2±0.1 meals per month). The most frequently consumed sportfish species were red drum, speckled trout, catfish, bass, crappie and bream. Advisory awareness rates varied by gender, ethnicity, geographic area, license type, age and education; and were lowest among women (53%), African-Americans (43%), fishers from the southeast of Louisiana (50%), holders of Senior Hunting and Fishing licenses (51%), individuals between 15 and 19 years of age (41%), and individuals with less than a high school education (43%). Results were used to identify ways to optimize monitoring, advisory development and outreach activities.
本文介绍了路易斯安那州首次针对娱乐性捕鱼者进行的基于人群的调查结果（n=1774）。本研究的最终目标是获取数据，为具有独特海鲜消费模式的高暴露人群制定区域咨询意见提供支持。2008 年 7 月至 8 月期间，向随机抽取的有执照的娱乐性捕鱼者邮寄了一份调查问卷，以描述当地的捕鱼习惯、食用海鱼情况和咨询意识。88%的受访者报告食用过海鱼。受访者每月估计食用 4 份鱼餐，其中约一半是海鱼。超过一半的所有海鱼餐（54%）是在墨西哥湾或毗邻的半咸水区捕获的。海鱼消费因执照和性别而异；在“钓鱼者天堂”执照持有者中最高（每月 2.8±0.2 餐），男性（每月 2.2±0.1 餐）。最常食用的海鱼种类是红鼓鱼、斑点鲈鱼、鲶鱼、鲈鱼、鲈鱼和鲷鱼。咨询意识率因性别、种族、地理位置、执照类型、年龄和教育程度而异；女性最低（53%）、非裔美国人（43%）、来自路易斯安那州东南部的渔民（50%）、高级狩猎和钓鱼执照持有者（51%）、年龄在 15 至 19 岁之间的个体（41%）和受教育程度低于高中的个体（43%）。结果用于确定优化监测、咨询意见制定和宣传活动的方法。
