Summary

These data are nutrition, economic value, and climate vulnerability of inland recreational consumption by country. The dietary contribution is measured as calcium, omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid (hereafter referred as DHA+EPA), iron, protein, vitamin B12, and zinc supply. The economic contribution is measured as total consumptive use value [TCUV]). The climate vulnerability follows Nyboer et al. 2021, comparing four climate change scenarios.

Purpose

Inland recreational fishing is often conceived as primarily a leisure-driven activity in freshwaters, yet it can contribute substantially to food systems. However, lack of consumption data means this aspect of inland recreational fisheries is typically not considered in policy-making and management - an oversight that could have consequences as climate change threatens the stability of food systems. By integrating the nutritional and economic dimensions of food consumption, these data can explore the implications of inland recreational fishing as a source of food in a changing climate.
