Inland recreational fisheries, found in lakes, rivers, and other landlocked waters, are important to livelihoods, nutrition, leisure, and other societal ecosystem services worldwide. Although recreationally-caught fish are frequently harvested and consumed by fishers, their contribution to food and nutrition has not been adequately quantified due to lack of data, poor monitoring, and under-reporting, especially in developing countries. Beyond limited global harvest estimates, few have explored species-specific harvest patterns, although this variability has implications for fisheries management and food security. Given the continued growth of the recreational fishery sector, understanding inland recreational fish harvest and consumption rates represents a critical knowledge gap. Based on a comprehensive literature search and expert knowledge review, we quantified multiple aspects of global inland recreational fisheries for 81 countries spanning ~192 species. For each country, we assembled recreational fishing participation rate and estimated species-specific harvest and consumption rate. This dataset provides a foundation for future assessments, including understanding nutritional and economic contributions of inland recreational fisheries.
内陆休闲渔业分布在湖泊、河流和其他内陆水域，对全球生计、营养、休闲和其他社会生态系统服务至关重要。尽管休闲捕捞的鱼类经常被渔民捕捞和食用，但由于缺乏数据、监测不力和报告不足，其对食物和营养的贡献尚未得到充分量化，尤其是在发展中国家。除了有限的全球捕捞估计数外，很少有人探讨过特定物种的捕捞模式，尽管这种变异性对渔业管理和粮食安全有影响。鉴于休闲渔业部门的持续增长，了解内陆休闲渔业的捕捞和消费率是一个关键的知识空白。基于全面的文献检索和专家知识审查，我们量化了全球 81 个国家约 192 个物种的内陆休闲渔业的多个方面。对于每个国家，我们收集了休闲渔业参与率，并估计了特定物种的捕捞和消费率。该数据集为未来的评估提供了基础，包括了解内陆休闲渔业的营养和经济贡献。
