Abstract

In the research, the demographics of recreational fishermen of some fishing clubs in Tehran province were investigated. The research was done in a period of one year, with monthly face-to-face interviews with the recreational fishermen present in the clubs from March 2022 to March 2023 by a researcher-made questionnaire. Demographic factors including: gender, age, marital status, education, occupation and monthly income were investigated through questionnaires. The data obtained from the questionnaire was analyzed using SPSS software. The results showed that men participate in recreational fishing much more than women. In addition, the age distribution was different, adults (31 to 40 years old) participated the most. While people under 10 years of age did not participate in this field. Among them, people with higher education (bachelor's degree) had the highest participation compared to people with low education. This study provides more insight into the fishing culture in Iran. In addition, this partnership model can be used for future recreational fishing partnerships.
