Abstract

This chapter reports a case study on the characterisation and parameterization of an agent-based model (ABM) of recreational fishing behaviour. Data collected through distributed surveys are used to produce the structure for agent behaviour. Specifically, agent behaviour is described using econometrically estimated site choice models, which allow for choice behaviour to be driven by angler characteristics, site attributes, the time of year, the direction of the agent’s trip, and so on. These choice models are statistical models based on accepted theories of choice behaviour. They underpin the simulation of the location, frequency, duration, and seasonality of an angler’s fishing trip as well as the angler’s expected fish catch. This case represents a relatively new approach to characterising agent-based models: using econometrically estimated models to drive agent behaviour.

The third section of the survey collected information on non-fishing recreational trips and was used for a separate study on non-fishing recreation.
